The Steinie Beer Bottle dates from 1935-maybe the late 1940's although some say the 50's? LEON.

The one that says Old Rye Whiskey on the lid could be a bootlegger's bottle, it wouldn't have been legal to sell alcohol in a bottle like that in the US during the period that it appears to date from. They might have been using medical bottles because they were what they could get their hands on. Alternatively it could just be an unrelated cap that was put onto it later.

Some bottle manufacturers had great date coding. Very easy to date. Others, your guess is as good as mine. Real detective work. You like a good mystery? Then you will love bottle collecting. These are two good site to search. The makers mark link is a direct link to manufactures marks on Sha.org
