This is a glass beverage bottle. It is moulded and light aquamarine in colour. It has a circular base, a cylindrical body, a broken off neck and finish. A portion of a metal and rubber Hutchinson spring stopper hangs partially inside and partially outside the bottle. On the front, there is embossed lettering in a circle that reads "American Bottling Co.". On the base of the bottle, there is an embossed stylized mark.
American Bottle Company (1905-1929). Chicago, Illinois (office – 1905-1916); Toledo, Ohio (office – 1916-1929). Glass plants were located at Streator, Illinois; Newark, Ohio; Belleville, Illinois; Massillon, Ohio & Wooster, Ohio. The American Bottle Company was purchased by Owens Bottle Machine Company in 1916 (with some of the plants being closed soon afterward) but the Streator and Newark plants continued to operate under the American Bottle Co. name until 1929, when they became part of the merger that resulted in Owens-Illinois Glass Company.
