8.5 inch glass bottle with 2 bowled out parts
Can someone help me identify this interesting bottle? Clear glass - 8.5 inches tall - screw top - On base it has B with a circle around it in the center and then the number 71 above it, the number 2 below it and the number 3 to the left of it. The base measures 1-7/8 inches across. Below the screw top is a lip and below that the glass bowls out for about 1-1/4 inches and then narrows again for a length of about 3-3/8 inches and then bowls out again for about 1-5/8 inches. It was found in Georgia. The brown that you see in the bottle is some rust that I am working on removing.

I associate bottles with a bulge on the top and/or bottom with olive oil.
See this labeled example on ebay:

I think 1920s is a bit early - my estimation would be second quarter 20th century.
