The elderly gentleman that I got this from thought it was a Brown's Indian Girl Bitters bottle, but it isn't. The ONLY marks on it are "J & M G" with no other punctuation. Bottle is 13" tall and 4" wide at it's base.Photos below.

I always figured those kinds of figural's were French, cordials or with that top, maybe cologne. Just guessing though.

Hello sunrunner, Well you must be new to bottle collecting if you can't tell a hand blown bottle from a machine made bottle. It is what we would consider a figural. If there are vertical seams on the finish (the top closure zone) then it is machine made. There are people that collect figurals. You didn't mention anything about the bottom. either - so we can't be much help.RED Matthews wepop

hay red , firstoff its not my bottle second , iv been collecting bottle for 40 years , and taken glassblowing classes . so I can tell the deference between a hand blown from machine made. And machine made bottles that were produced on the Owens or Jhonbull or what others there were. have a distinctive look. Its Kleenex who is asking the question.
