Hi all...I found this bottle in a riverbank this past week. Trying to nail down a date range and I'm thinking 1920s based on what I've found on line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

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...
 

Post prohibition variant of the same flask...

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

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.
 

Awesome find and will display well good info on it too
