Today's Find: 1905/15 Bottle

Hi,
I found a clear Owens-Illinois bottle at an old farmhouse site in Wisconsin. The bottle is 8" high and 2.5" at its widest point. The lower half is octagonal. The writing on the bottom is: "12 O/I (symbol) 5" along the top half. It looks like there is a "1" printed beneath the "5". "Duraglas" is cursive beneath that, and "E1643" below that. I would like to know if the "5" suggest the year (maybe the "1" beneath suggests 1915?), the possible value and history of the bottle use. Thank you for your help.

Matt

Old plain ketchup bottle,value is for recycled glass.Keep looking where theres one another might be close by.Look for bottles with writing on the side and of color.Names on the side help determine the value,along with condition and scarcity.Good luck
