Old Glass Bottle ID

[C.E.Smith043]

I know this is not firearms related but while I was out hunting last week I came across this old bottle I would like to know more about. Can anyone direct me to a website that would help me out. I have searched thru Google but I'm not finding anything that is of much help.

It's not very old. I think it's catsup. jd

I agree. My wife and I were thinking ketchup also. It appears to not have a threaded top so I'm assuming the cap must have been a press on cap?

May have been sealed with cork or the heavy wire mechanism with glass cap and rubber seal. like the old mason jars had for home canning.

Looks very similar to 80's vintage Heinz catsup.

It’s a John Kerry money maker!

How big is it? If it's not very big, like 6 oz or so, I have seen bottles like that which came with a snap on plastic cap that was used to fill with vinegar to make for instance, an oil and vinegar salad, or to sprinkle vinegar on fish and chips.

It looks smaller in the picture. I would say it's around 10 ounces

A old or some of the first Catsup bottles, I would say.

Heinz made the octagon shaped bottle iconic...

My guess is it a tapatio hot sauce bottle

This guy, I thought the same thing.

Looks like a target to me.

Yes Sir, those bottles with the red still in them used to be bomb for tossing in the air and shooting with a revolver. I remember even old gun writers legends like Bill Jordan talk about doing that.

Growing up I shot hundreds of bottles at the family landfill on the farm.

It resembles antique ketchup bottles if you do a search but the flats are not the same so i guess it could be anything

Catsup or ketchup busted a lot of them at the local dump waiting for the rats to come out.
