Magnesium, or manganese? I know that manganese was used as a glass clarifying agent to make the glass clear, but they largely stopped using that around 1912ish. Manganese in the glass is also the reason some glass exposed to uv rays from the sun turns amethyst purple over time! It might be older than you think! Very nice tho either way.

Although those mold seams at the top do look a little later tho, so i would say 1930's on as well

It's an earlier machine-made perfume or ink of some sort. Probably 1905-1915. And like Frisco said, it's manganese.

Nice one!

Ha yeah manganese is what I was going for I read for the most part they stop using it around 1912ish but was seldomly used up into the 1930s
