Hi there y'all, I'm trying to ID this old bottle's maker and age and I'm running into a wall. Any ideas?

I can possibly give you an idea of age if you post the entire bottle. It looks like an Owens ABM mark. I cant quite see the manuf mark. It looks like the Owens-Illinois Glass Company mark 1929-1958.

That does look remarkably close! Here's the bottle, maybe it will help some.

There are members that would chastise me for looking at seams because there are occasional debatable exceptions to the rule but I still prefer to quick date my bottles by seams and unfortunately I cant see them. However its not needed because I see you have a screw top and what appears a large Owens ABM suction mark (red) on the bottom besides the diamond logo. I would say definitely 20th century, probably 1930-1958 medicine bottle with a chipped bottom of minimal value..

You are fabulous! Thank you so much!!! It was my very first accidental find bottles and I don't know that I'd sell it for the world even if it was valuable. Thank you so, so much!!!
