Need assistance on this find

[bottlerocket]

This was an interesting find today. I am not sure what it was used for. At first I thought perfume but the bottle doesn't stand on its bottom.
It is a tooled top. No seams on the side of the lip.
Tiny seeds throughout the top where the lip was worked onto the glass body.
It has a pattern on it like corn so I thought maybe it was used to eat corn on the cob. One on each end with a point that attached to the lip.
It has a smooth spot for a possible label on one side.
It is hollow as if to hold a liquid maybe.
It is about 2 1/2 in tall.
I am stumped.
Anyone?

I haven't a clue really but both of your guesses are possible I suppose. I know I like it, at 2 /12" it would fit well into my "Littles" collection. Jim

You like littles Huh? I grab them as I dig them because they have such unique shapes and sizes. It is hard to imagine with today's "volume is value" marketing why they were so many tiny bottles back then. I never really fell in love with them like the embossed meds, milks, and Decco Sodas but they are still unique.
At first I thought glass stopper but when I saw it was hollow, I figured probably not.

After browsing ebay I may have found out what this was. Possibly a "Lay down scent bottle".

I find many different variations of them. They are listed for quite a bit of money especially with the lids if they are silver.

It may have had a chain or something to either be worn around the neck or attach to a handbag. Smelling salts? [8|]

I think smelling salts also. I've seen this somewhere before , just can't remember where. Buster

Yes there are smelling salt bottles that look very similar to this. Thanks
With the tooled top, I can assume pre 1920. Do you suppose this could be late 1800s?

A ground glass stopper was my first thought from the pictures. What do you mean by the "hollow" part?

 

[bottlerocket]

It is hollow inside as if it would hold something be it perfume or I suppose smelling salts. I have stoppers but mine are solid. I thought stopper when I first dug it but noticed it was hollow like a small bottle.

Here is another shot.
