West Philada. Bottle

[Lofaac]

Hi again you people with knowledge.
I have a bottle that I have problems to identify. It's 9 1/4" high.
Embossed lettering,
Front: Wm MOTT, 816 N 48 th St, WEST PHILADA.
Back: THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD.
Nothing on the bottom
Is this a soda bottle? How old do you guys think it is?

William Mott (1880-1895), Emil Mott (1900-1910), Anna T. Mott (1912-1920) definitely a family business. Nice bottle.

I would say most likely liquor. Very unlikely it was soda.

Nice bottle! It was most likely beer, but possibly soda.

I am not sure the Motts bottled sodas at this time period
