I unearthed this nice bottle at my mine.
Not sure of the age or if it has any value but it's in excellent condition and I have a place for it.  I cleaned it carefully and well using techniques that I researched online. If anyone knows old bottles... I'd appreciate any insight as to what it is. Looks like a soda bottle.  The glass is relatively thick and has a nice light lavender or amethyst coloration to it. The lettering "Kuner" is raised and beveled. Here are a couple pics.

Update
Mystery solved!!! After many hours of unsuccessful internet research I decided to register and post it on an antique bottle forum. They definitely solved the mystery fast, what a great site! The bottle is quite old and has an interesting story... especially regarding the use of Manganese dioxide and the "purple effect". Here is the link to my inquiry if anyone's interested.
