The company is known to have made mustard and possibly other condiments. This bottle could have held vinegar, catsup (ketchup) or similar product. The reason for the specific amount of contents - 7-1/2 ounces rather than, say, 8 ounces - may be due to certain regulations of the product that was sold in this bottle.
