Bayer Aspirin bottle or something else?

Trying to ID this small bottle. Looks like a Bauer bottle but there is no name on it. Uneven glass thickness, arrow on front and back near neck, number 2 on lower right front. Bottom looks like it has a Pontil scar. Any ideas what this was used for?

Welcome to the forum! I don't recognize the logo. The top looks like it was meant to have some sort of specialized closure. That isn't a pontil scar, it's a suction scar from an early 20th century automatic bottle machine. Not much to go on without a name on it, but maybe someone will recognize the logo?

Hmm, I don't recognize the mark either. It is definitely machine made but due to the crudity, it's probably about a hundred years old if not older. Did you dig it up? Where there's one bottle, there usually are more.

I did dig it up on my property. The property was established in 1760. I discovered a dump area.

The shape is the exact same as that of Bayer aspirin children's size bottles - I dig these often in 50s and 60s dumps. I've noticed a lot of them have oddities in the glass - usually in the form of uneven thickness, scratch/scar marks on the sides, and elongated/misshapen bottom marks. I wonder if due to the bottle size manufacturers and customers didn't care as much if the glass was imperfect.

I'd guess the arrow was simply a design that would accentuate the paper label. It was probably used for a similar pill product, and maybe even an off-brand that could buy the blank bottles and apply paper labels for cheaper than the embossed ones.
