Actually, Duraglas was only in operation from 1940-Late 1950s. The "7" most likely indicates the bottle plant where it was made.

The 7 with a . after it is 1947. The actual glass company is Owens-Illinois. Duraglass is the type of glass.

Good call on the date. I'm a bit rusty with Owens Illinois. I recall there are three numbers, but I don't recall which one was which

Thank you so much all for your expertise.. We are confused because of info we are finding on the web.... we learned that the number on the left was the plant .and the number on the right was refrencing a year..

I'm pretty sure your bottle is a medicine bottle that would have had a dose cup closure.
