Hello and welcome. I just read that the IG co. got their first owens machime in 1910. For several years prior the were using semi auto machines. They had to remove 11 furnaces to accomidate it the Owens.
Listerine and the Lambert co were probably one of their bigger accounts and went straight to being machine made ASAP. I'd guess if it's not you could date it prior to 1910.
Listerine started in 1879 so that can help also.
Check the seam on the side and look for a blow back mark or the "owens ring" on the bottom.
Check here for those marks. BLM Bases
Maybe you could post back with a picture of the bottom.

Escanaba, Eh! That's where my folks work. Like I said, I grew up in Carney (30 min west) and Escanaba was my hometown! I'm donw in Ohio now though....better digging down here I think, although I have a few great OLD places in mind next time I'm above the bridge.
