Fairly sure it’s ketchup. I believe duraglass (Owen Illinois) started in the 1940s although may be wrong. Nice find!

Welcome to Tnet.
Yes. It looks to be a ketchup bottle.
Owens-illinois first used the ‘Duraglas’ mark on bottles in 1940, but it wasn’t registered as a trademark until September 1941, and they used it until about 1964.
The number ‘9’ to the left of the Owens-Illinois logo is the plant code for Streator, Illinois (in operation from 1930) and the number to the right is the date code. Although not very clear from your picture, it looks like ‘7’ which will be for 1947. After the 1940s they used double-digit date codes to prevent confusion, so 1957 would have been ‘57’.
The numbers at the bottom are for mould/style identification.
