Welcome to Tnet.
I think if you look more closely, the patent number will be 90963, not 90967. The patent was granted on 31st October 1933 to Joseph B. Vanderbilt of New York, NY for the Hazel-Atlas Glass company. That’s their ‘H over little A’ mark in the centre of the base (used until about 1964).
In October 1928 Penick & Ford bought the “Vermont Maid” blended syrup business and switched the product from a bottle with a single loop to that double looped one in late 1933.
During WWII P&F’s Vermont Maid products (along with those from other syrup manufacturers) were forced to change their container shapes. The “War Production Board – Containers Division” stipulated a limited choice of standardised bottle shapes and sizes such that glass manufacturers could focus their efforts on important wartime production rather than on creating speciality containers. Consequently, Vermont Maid switched to a stubby round bottle with no loop handles sometime between 1943 and the end of the war.

Cool bottle with a little bit of history to it, Stacyphi and Welcome to TNet! 
Thanks for the fine job identifying the bottle Red-Coat. I could tell it was a familiar looking syrup bottle but just couldn't place it.
