Where did you find it? What state and area in state?
It def. looks like and early to mid 1900's soda bottle...it could be just a local drug store brand or soda dealer near you....Look up the history on local soda and bottlers near you in that era. Good luck.....Just a guess.....
......Double Dutch Beer?.....lol...Dirt Diva Bottle?.....D&D Brothers....could be anything.

just don't know what the contents were.
L G W..................Laurens Glass Works, Laurens, SC (1910-1996). Plants also operated in Henderson, NC (opened 1957) and Ruston, LA. The Henderson and Ruston plants are now part of Saint-Gobain Containers. NOTE: In some instances certain older (pre-1900) bottles or flasks with the marking "L & W" (indicating Lorenz and Wightman) are misunderstood to read "L. G. W.", and because of an entry in Toulouse's Bottle Makers and their Marks, this mark is believed to stand for Louisville Glass Works. I do not believe Louisville Glass Works ever marked ANY items with the initials "L G W". If you have information that might show otherwise, please feel free to contact me with details.
Here is the website link in case you find more bottles
