Unfortunately I can't tell from the bottom; however, I do know that they were advertising these in the mid to late 1930's in my area so it is most likely from that era.
July 20 1937 Johnson City, Tenn. Hires Ad.
Note the label looks very similar to your own. For a quarter I'd say you found yourself an interesting find. Enjoy.
And to answer your question of timing, I'd have to say that paper label pre-dates the acls.

Thanks Morbious, That Ad is cool, i wold think to find one from the thirties with the label is pretty hard, They also had a 64 oz. ndnr glass coke but they were asking 10.00 for it, which was probably a deal but 10.00 seemed like alot. They also had a few coke commerative bottles that i almost bought, but they were 5.00 each. Jay

This Hires patent design is from 1936, and may be the original date when this particular bottle first came out. (It seems a little late to me ??) It is from a deco/designer soda bottle website. Personally I never quite thought of this style as a deco bottle. It's kind of ordinary compared to so many of the elaborate designs that came out during the 1920s - 30s - and even a few during the early 1940s.

Followed by this 1937 ad showing the so called deco bottle. This is the earliest ad I could find for this particular bottle. Which supports the likelyhood of the 1936 patent design as being when this bottle was first introduced. (By the way; I used to think of this label as a "paper" label. But later had it pointed out to me that it was in fact a "foil" label. I believe it was wonkapete who corrected me on this, but it may have been some other super member).

Interesting. I used to think those Hires bottles were ACL's with the paint worn off. Now I know better.
