Sneaking away from work for a quick break. What better way than to post here. I've showed this before and I'm not good at putting age to glass so can someone tell me what the age is on this? No embossing just the swirling and a blank circle on it that you can barely see. I'm assuming a label was there? This is one of my favorite bottles. Thanks! Also, there are tool marks on the neck and it's crooked as crooked gets.

There are several Western flasks with the swirls but they sport an embossed slug plate where the circle is on your flask. One from Salinas, the Gamecock and a few others.

I've only dug them in post-1900 deposits, so my gut suggests they are 1900-1910s. Very attractive bottles they are.
