    I found this bottle years ago buried halfway in the ground on an ancestor’s farm. No one I’ve shown it to knows what it was used for. I’ve even shared it with some glass experts and they weren’t sure either.
    Based on the logo on the bottom, I know it was made my Owens-Illinois on West Virginia.
    Has anyone ever seen one like this before? Any ideas as to its use.?

    Everyone likes it because it’s so unusual.

      Based on the marking on the bottom of the bottle, it was manufactured in 1933, but I still can't determine what the bottle originally contained. Thanks for all the suggestions.
