    Help identifying bottle

    Hello! I purchased this bottle at an antique store with my kids. I haven't been able to find much information about it. It seems pretty imperfect..which we love. I'm curious if anyone can give an approximate date range. I paid $10 for it. Hoping we got good value. Thanks in advance! -Kerry
