Your picture suffers from some reflections but, does the inverted triangle have a letter W above a letter T within it? Thatā€™s what it looks like.

If so, itā€™s from the Whitall Tatum Company of Millville, NJ and that mark was in use from c.1924-c.1938. They were bought by the Armstrong Cork Company in 1938, but the transition to Armstrongā€™s ā€œA in Circleā€ mark was a gradual process, with some bottles possibly still having the ā€œW over T in inverted triangleā€ as late as 1949.

They supplied generic and branded bottles to many manufacturers of lotions and potions, medicines, cosmetic products, cleaning products and chemicals. They were also a major supplier of amber ā€˜Lysolā€™ bottles.

Here's two more pictures I can make out the W but the T just looks like a dot but maybe it is whitall Tatum company I don't know

Yep. It's Whitall Tatum for sure. The definition of the lettering in the triangle ranges in quality from crisp and neat through to blurred and terrible. Here's a similar example to yours where the T is not much more than the top limb:
