Can you post a picture of bottom
Sure. Unfortunately, there is a hole I just noticed on the side of the bottle. Nonetheless, I'd like to know if I am right. Thanks for any help.

Hard to say with no indication of size. How big is it? If it's only a couple of inches across, I'd say ink. 4 inches or so, yeah, I'd say bug spray.

On the bottom, it measures exactly three inches wide. The numbers on the bottom, "541" does that mean it was mfg'd in May of 1941? It would stand to reason since the site was closed down in the 1950s. and demolished in the early 2000s.
