Hey Rhona, I love to find old examples of bottles for products that are still in use today. It really gives perspective to how much things have changed. Thanks for sharing. GARY

That bottle design is in Zumwalt's book 'Ketchup Pickles Sauces 19th Century In Glass'.
Are you sure its not marked #99 on bottom? It was a design used right around 1900. Does it have backwards 'S's in the embossing? If so its an earlier version. It a fairly common bottle. I think the last one I sold went for about $15.
