    I found this old bottle. The label is in great shape. Sorry its dirty i kinda just left it how i found it. I love the green! Looks rather old to me. But i know nothing of bottles. Can't imagine this stuff tasted good.

      Officially, bar-codes aren't used on the U.S. (and likely then Canadian) market until 1983 for stores.
      Empirical evidence suggests use in the later 1970s by manufacturers, though, albeit I cannot prove it.
      As such, your bottle is probably mid-1980s onward.

      That fits them. I found them in an old apt. That no one's lived in since prolly the 80s.. so good eye SpiritBear! They looked older to me. But i just don't remember drinking from bottles like these. Thank you for your comment and expertise!

      It's my biggest hobby-- bottles.
      Here is what you want to look for in collectibility:
      Embossed or labeled bottles where the seam on the side stops before it goes to the top. Current market most desires: alcohol and interesting shapes, historical flasks and anything pontiled (many new collectors get confused about differences between a machine-made suction scar, seen on your alcohol flask, and a pontil).

      See photo for seam vanishing before or on neck (and, on newer hand-tooled bottles, just before the top as early machines blew and partially finished the bottles) :
      http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/198330-anchor-bitters-circa-1880

      Most bottles with a seam going to the top date after 1920, which is, for most collectors, the end of the line in their collections. Machine-made bottles don't take off till the 1910s.
