Strange piece

Any ideas as to what this contained? Also wondering about the age, 40's maybe?

I'd say that this looks a bit older than the 1940s. Maybe around the 1920s.

It’s an old pickle jar. I don’t know makers marks well enough to say who made the jar, but I do know it was used fir pickles. I have 2 of them from the late 1800’s, but mine aren’t intact.

The R in a triangle is Reed Glass Co. in Rochester, N.Y. They used that mark from the late 20s through the 50s.
