Are these prohibiton era? I found a few in the woods i detect, and wasnt sure so just left them. They were clear thou, but has the same writting on them.

great find!
 

Can you give us a hint as to the wording?
 

"FEDERAL LAW FOBIDS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE"
 

These are post prohibition. The "Federal Law Forbids" language was mandated from 1935 to approximately 1964, see Federal Law Forbids Sale or Reuse of this Bottle No collectibility in the eyes of the bottle guys, with very few exceptions. They are useful as dating markers. There may be date codes on the base...

 

thanks for the all info guys.

one of the bottles says "hiram walker and sons. limited. 56 48. walkerville canada"

the other one says "d8 65 46."
