I've been trying for years to find another like this or to find anyone that has seen another like it. Some information that I've gathered from bottle collectors is that it was made by Dominion Glass for Borden's and was probably a juice bottle rather than a milk bottle because it is textured glass. We've always kept old marbles in it so it always brightened up the window sill in our home.
The texture of the glass looks like an orange.
Three oranges stacked on top of each other?
Yes, it does but that section on the top really looks like it was for cream, doesn't it?
Yes it is odd.
I did an image search for old Borden's advertising images but had no luck, thought I might find something there.
Does it say design registered 1938 at the bottom?
I was disappointed when I found that you were selling this on Kijiji. I don't mind helping collectors but not someone wanting info just so they can sell their item.
Actually, I am not selling it on Kijiji, I was just putting it out there asking for someone to contact me in case they had any information on it.
Sorry, I missed your earlier post. Yes, in the 4th photo it shows "design registered 1938" on the bottom of the back of the bottle, and on the bottom of the front of the bottle it says "contains 32 fl. oz"
My apologies for jumping to conclusions.
A couple of things to note.
Bordens acquired ReaLemon in 1938

look at section on Borden Food
Also you could look at design patent registrations on both sides of the border.
