Crude lip...

The word is that this is some type of Condiment Bottle. I have my doubts but you can judge for yourselves. It's embossed "Jesse H. Lippincott / Pittsburgh Pa."

Zane,

I think that bottle contained sauce or ketchup.They come in a couple sizes with the large one being big for a sauce but I have seen some sauces that are similar and unembossed also.The ones I have dug seem to date to the 60's-70's.They are great bottles that are different in shape than most.Doug

just judging by the shape, with no knowledge of the company itself, i would say it looks like a salad dressing

Sorry for the poor picture but here are a couple of my favorite food bottles. Two are Heinz but the one is the earliest version where it says Heinz & Noble and dates to the 1880s.

I also just started collecting maple syrup bottles. Here are two that I recently picked up. They are sided with ground lips and screw threads. If anyone has any like these I would love to buy or trade for them.

As I said earlier, I really enjoyed this thread on the forum, so much so that I have purchased Betty Zumwalt's "Ketchup, Pickles, Sauces" reference book which is fantastic.
I also managed to win a Sanborn Pickle recently, one that I said I have wanted for a long time. This one is from Bryan Grapentine's collection, which makes it even more special. I was hoping to get at least one bottle from the auctions for his sale, and this is the one. I'll post pics when the pickle arrives, but here is the auction pic - color is yellow green. It is also the large quart size, 8 1/4 inches.

Another auction picture of the embossing...

Very nice color and strong embossing, Annie. I guess I will know whom to contact for pickle/sauce information.
