Trying to figure out age and what it may have held

[Tonylotz]

Found this interesting 10 inch tall thick glass octagonal bottle on a dig near Rhome TX. Diamond logo with 823 on bottom. After a long internet search best age I can come up with is approx 1920. Can anyone provide further information about age and what it may have held?

Looks like a pickle jar to me, and I would agree with it dating to around 1920.

Yep, pickles. I found one of those last year, and accidentally blew it up.

I agree with Sandchip that it is a pickle jar. I too am leaning more toward pre-Great Depression times. Also, it is reminiscent of the condiment jars that held relish, horseradish, or picante, etc... but they were much smaller.

Welcome to the site. Since this has a diamond logo with numbers inside it was made by Illinois Glass Company, Alton, IL. Later became part of the Owens-Illinois glass empire.

Thank you very much for the input. Curious that it may have held pickles. Opening is only 1.5 in diameter.

Perhaps those little sweet pickles.

My guess would be some type of relish.

I agree too.
