Nope, gotta be earlier than 40s but not sure exactly when yet. By the clear bottle design, I would guess late 20s to early 30s.
Look's like it might date between July 20, 1920 & Aug. 22 1922.
Here is some info on the clear krinkly bottle mfg. dates, there is a lot of info so I will let you take it from here, love the sign.
