    Found this bottle at an estate sale. Embossed on top is Dispose of Properly. Anyone have an idea of what this was used for?

      Bottom should have a two-digit number, likely to the right of a maker's mark, between 40 and 90. That would likely be a year-code, like (I) 61 is Owen-Illinois [as the maker] in 1961.
      Bottle was damaged by a fire.
      Likely contained beer.
