I found this bottle about 2 feet into the ground. Its in great condition. My best guess would be medicine bottle. Mostly because its using CC as a form of measurement. And when i filled it with liquid and turned it upside down, the water slowly dripped out. The stamp on bottom is way off center. And the glass has a rainbow color appearance.

Looks like a med bottle to me. Looks like the Owens-Illinois marking on the bottom although having trouble seeing. Great find!

As Cajun said, it is a Owen's Illinois mark on the base, dating it to after 1929 when the two merged. I refer to these generically as Lyric medicines as they are often embossed with the word lyric and the dosage increments. Find lots of these in 30s and 40s trash pits.
