Does anyone recognize the company logo for this maker's mark? See the 2nd photo, in the center of the bottle base. I don't even know how to describe it... It's an amber bottle, and the only markings are "No deposit, No return". That would put it in the 1950's I think, before the recycling movement got traction, and disposable bottles were still popular. But I'd like to know the maker, to possibly home-in better on the date. This bottle was found in an old farmstead site, dating from 1920 to 1945, in Houston, Texas.

Not sure on the company logo, but I believe the bottle is later than that...NDNR bottles date to the 1970's and later.

Looks like a 57 on the bottom, so you may be right
