Any guess on the age or origin of this one?

[Mike in PA]

This was exposed after a heavy rain in a ravine on my property where I've found many bottles. Any ideas on age or origin?

I'd guess earlier then 1910. Think they call these Pumpkin Seed Flask but I'm no Flask expert. LEON.

Yep, that's a pumpkin seed flask! Yours is Mid 1880's-1910ish; they were popular around that time. Usually they would contain bourbon, whiskey, or other liquor but they were also used to bottle Jamaica Ginger in sometimes as well... Which was a patent medicine most people bought to get drunk off of because it contained 70-80% ethanol.

Nice little bottle! Looks on the older end of the date range to me. I’d be hitting up that ravine if I was you.
