Gallon Jug how old and what was it used for?

[Rolladex]

Found the other day and have no idea what it was used for and how old is it? I have never seen a cap like that one before help. Thank for looking any help would be appreciated.

Rolladex,

Bleach used to come in similar bottles/jugs (not all were embossed "Clorox" or "Purex"). I saw some once when helping an elderly lady clean up her garden shed some 30 years back. Whatever it contained, I definitely believe the brown color was meant to keep the contents from degrading (maybe that was already obvious to you).

Good luck and happy hunting!

I have an old Roman Cleanser bottle that looks like that without the cap. Also my bottle is embossed Roman Cleanser
