bottle appears to be the "Real McCoy" & is older than what I own as mine are marked socony vacuum which merged in '31 .. ...  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
