Pre 1919 would be my guess due to prohibition, if after prohibition I would expect "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Reuse of this Bottle" to be embossed on it. I figure it had a cork and a metal shot glass style screw top that held the cork in and could be used for taking a nip...

I believe yours is from around 1930-1940. And it's a Canadian bottle, which is why it might lack the "Federal Law" embossing.

Great info, thanks...

Dig these a lot up here. I used to have a really nice one, c 1930 but still super bubbly and crude. I always wanted to find a federal law variant though, little harder to come by here.
