It has the Owens-Illinois glass mark on the base, and the "1" to the right of it would make it from 1931. I think it might be a later apothecary jar, though. it reminds me of the ones I have from around 1910, except yours is clear.

Conner are your two bottles screw tops, the reason I think Pamela's might be a food is because of the top but I don't really know. I need to get the Owens book to identify the bottle types, I have many in old Bottle Magazine but it's just too much to go thru as opposed to having the actual Owens book...

Yeah, they're screw tops, Jim. I think they are similar, though, because of the similarity of the body shape. The tops are definitely different, but the bottles are 20+ years apart.
