It looks to be the Owens-Indiana symbol and a three tbree a three with dots and a thirteen in the middle. I picked it up because it looked pretty neat.

I'm not sure what your bottle held, but the random geometric pattern was patented on soda bottles back in the 1920's. Attached is one example patented on Sept. 4,1928 by Paul A. Ginter and was assigned to the American Bottle Company. The term of the patent was 14 years. The American Bottle Company merged with Owens Illinois in 1929; therefore Owens Illinois would have access to that design. The patent expired in 1942, a year before yours was made. Not sure if any of this info is helpful.
