There are a lot of these oil bottles out there. I was just browsing around ebay and found a number, some just glass like this, others with fancy metal coverings. Collectors pay big money for the fancy ones, ie. $50-400

Looks like they were used for storing kerosene - perhaps glass was more reliable (safer?) than tin containers.
