    This is an amber Owens Illinois round bottle. It measures 3.75" x 2". The seam does not go over the lip. On the bottom it has a diamond inside an oval with #14 to the left #2 to the right and #11 with a dot next to it underneath. It says Kruschen Salts. The seam does not go over the lip. I thought it could be from 1902 until I saw the 11 with a dot on the bottom of the symbol, that threw me off. Pretty sure bottle was machine made which is another reason do not know if it is from 1902. I know the bottle was made in Bridgeton NJ. I am just learning about bottle marks and dating, and I am struggling because there is so much information out there. So am sorry for any mistakes, and do not take my words as set in stone, or at least set in glass.

      Nice bottle!
      You are correct in that the bottle was made in Bridgeton N.J. (#14)
      The #2 would more than likely be for 1932, if there was a dot after the two it would be 1942. The # 11 is a mold number.
