New here...with a new very unusual bottle...for my collection..

[Pheathco]

My daughters boyfriend brought me a new bottle home from work. He says that all kinds of bottles are constantly washing up on shore where he works...usually they just sling them back in the water..since he found out that I collect them he brings them to me...sooo today's find is a square bottle about 5in...clear glass...that gets wider as it goes up with a wide ROUND opening..looks like it may have had a glass lid..On the bottom is a small design with a 7 on one side and an I on the other and a smaller 4 above them...on one side near the bottom of the bottle its says C 187 or C 197 cant really tell...very small letters and numbers..any ideas how I would find out what it was?
Ive always collected bottles that I have found but never tried to look one up before. When I can figure out how to upload a pic Ill post it..
Thanks

I can try to walk you through the steps of uploading pics to the site. I usually go through photobucket so that I can post multiple pics on the same thread. There's other folks on here that can give you a hand as well. Let me know if you want my help and I'll walk you through the way I do it. Swiz

If you can takepics of the markings you speak about it might help, but I'm not sure. I think it's some sort of food jar but I could be completely wrong....
