What is this I have??

Hi,

I live along the coast of Maine, and I've recently come across a stockpile of old bottles and plates, at least 10 types of bottles, all in near mint condition, one in particular that I am curious about is a small bottle, about 6+ inches, its oval shaped, and has the mark "Carl H. Schultz C-P M-S PAT. MAY 1868 NEW YORK" could anyone tell me what this bottle was used for??

That sounds like a soda. 1870s 80s if it has a blob top. Should be some goodies at that spot.

The name was still showing at 430-444 First Ave NY, NY in a 1925 book.
By oval do you mean ten pin or bowling pin shaped? Is it crown or blob top?
I have one listed in a 70's book for $8-10. It is a soda of some type as they also made syphon bottles. He even got sued for one that exploded.
