      The symbol on the bottom of the bottle we refer to as a diamond/oval/I, and it represents the Owens Illinois Glass Company. Owens would have made the bottle for Kruschen Salts. The numbers you mention are code numbers from Owens. The #4 left to the symbol is code for the city of manufacture, that being Clarksburg, WV, the #4 to right is a date code, this being 1934. The #3 is a plant code for the mold style.
      Here is a link to a web sight that helps date bottles.
