I found this bottle buried in my backyard, in Cincinnati, OH and it is very beautiful. I was hoping you professionals could help date this bottle and provide any additional information you might have about it. Please allow me to apologize, as I must confess I do not know much about bottles.
From my research, I believe it was manufactured by the Owens-Illinois Glass Co., as evidenced by the marking on the bottle. Given its shape, it looks like a ketchup bottle, but I am unsure of the brand. It has a goldy closure, without a screw cap. It doesn’t appear to accommodate a cork, but I did not find it with any metal around the neck.
On the lower end of the bottle, there is a "708," and on the opposite side, there is the number "9." There are only two numbers flanking the Owens-Illinois logo on the bottom: "2" and "9." Based on this my guess is 1939 manufactured at Huntington, West Virginia.
Please let me know if there is any additional information you need. Thank you so much for your expertise.
