My "guess" would be based on the US 40 marking. The only thing I can think of that would relate to that figure would be the size of a US whiskey barrel in gallons. I wonder if this "bottle" was used to measure and dispense a given measure of Distillers Essence in the making of whiskey?

Rauville, maybe I should have stuck with my first answer. A 40 being a beer or some brew, lol.

Hmmm don't know for sure , but I'll add my weak guess that it may have been a plumbing 'pig' , perhaps with a 'line & stick' attached , for retrieval from a pipe .....

First impression was that of a pooltable item , though .

 ;D ;D Great minds think alike.

It sure looked like pill bottle .... but then it wasn't made of leather or plastic.


But I'm still thinking it is a trombone mute.
