sorry i forgot to attach the pics

caveman, I have never seen one exactly like this but it looks like a modern piece. Harry Pristis has an outstanding collection of the really old ones, say mid 1800s or so.

Looks like a 1970's Rheingold Wide Mouth Beer bottle to be honest.....

I'm 53 and hate to admit it but drank a few of these as a teenager (beer bottle)

If you can clean the bottom an take a very clear pic of the bottom you can usually date the bottle from the numbers

I agree that this is a 1970s wide-mouth beer bottle.

Thanks, 'gleaner1', for the mention of my barrel bottles. I am always on the lookout for a new mold or color variant, so I will take the opportunity to post this image again.
