Know maker but what was it for?

I have a bottle and I know who it is but the stamp but I am confused about age as the classic markers are not clear to me. I tried to clean it up and take pictures. Was this a display bottle as its huge? It has been sitting g at my mom's place and she is curious about the age and value of a bottle like this. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Anything with the "Federal law forbids..." statement is post prohibition to as late as the mid 1970's. Yours looks like it may be mouth blown and if so probably from the 30's or early 40's.
From the photo's that's what it looks like to me but it may just be my eyesight.

It has a seam that does not extend over the finish.

I've seen similar bottles in metal brackets used in older automobiles. To hold wiper fluid, ect, ect. LEON.

Easy solution. Google William Grant and Sons.

Distillers. Makers of Glenfiddich and other lovely potent Potables.

That was a booze bottle. Looks like the current Grant's scotch bottle is roughly the same shape.
