    This is a good topic but i am not too concerned about what i breath digging. Im a mechanic for Chicago International Trucks and during the cold seasons im working in a 40 bay shop with all the doors closed.

    Catto's whisky bottle

    If it was made within 1932-1964 it would have "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Re-use of This Bottle". All hard liquor bottle had that embossed on them. It looks turn of the century to me but they could be behind in technology. Probably 1890-1930.
