Clayton, can you tell us what the dimensions of the bottle are? I am guessing it's between 7 and 8 inches tall??
It looks like a handmade (applied lip) pickle bottle. Several different styles of pickle bottles (cylindrical or square) were made during that time period --- your bottle looks like it's probably from 1860s-1890. Some of the round ones were made in England, and held different kinds of pickles or a product called "CHOW CHOW".

That looks like it could be American, as most of the English pickle bottles have a bit more of a greenish tint to the glass color.
