Note interesting embossing around bottom of bottle. Horse, wagon, horse, train, car, plane? ANy idea of what bottle was made for and what it contained.

Do you have a full height picture? We can only see parts of it and a picture or two of it whole would help.

It's a liquor bottle. Anytime you see a "D" with a two digit number, that means it was a bottle made for liquor. "D" stands for distiller. The number next to the D would be a unique identifying number for that company. I used to have the list of numbers but can't find it.

I have this bottle, but mine is a cork top. Definitely a liquor bottle.
