    This is a mystery bottle I wanted it simply for the unique shape that it has I never quite seen another one like it.

      I've never seen one like it before, either. Interesting shape. The screw on top suggests it's post 1920. The white residue (mineralization) on the glass means it was buried and dug up. It is most likely a liquor bottle. Any marks on the bottom?

      Might be liquor, might be vinegar. I see similar things in 1940s-1970s areas.

      It also says FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE

      So it appears to be a liquor bottle from post prohibition era. This wording was put on bottles from 1935-1964, and sometimes into 70s.

      Yep, Anna got it.

      As for it's year, if there is a date-code, I'm not able to read it on this bottle.

      You're welcome, Destiny.

      Thank you, Spirit, learning from the best ;)
      "70" wouldn't be 1970 in this case?
