bottle appears to be the "Real McCoy"

marked socony vacuum which merged in '31 .. ... cool

your bottle is early 30's/twenties ..

Your first photo shows a state approval seal.

That state seal certifies that the bottle holds a full quart when filled to the indicator line.

That seal appears to be Massachusetts.

I have oil bottles with 3 or 4 different state seals cast into the glass.

I assume the state seals would vary depending on the region of the US that the bottle was originally used in.

Later . . .

That's great news as I was kind of nervous because I couldn't find one online like it. Most of the ones I found have a slot vs. 2 holes where the Oil fill connection is
Thank you for the great feedback. This is a great forum. Greatly appreciated info
