its a Haarlem Oil medicine. Its tough to date them correctly because they were often made with obsolete manufacturing techniques.
It is probably a lot newer than you might guess.

A great bottle to study and use for group bottle club discussion and learning. I really like that type of training aid. And Matt - you just shine again with your specialty appreciation of Med Btls. Thanks to both of you. RED Matthews

Red, I have always wondered if these bottles were purposely made to look older as a sales gimmick to reflect its ties to the original early medicine.

Matt, I have dug Claes Tilly and G.de Koning Tilly bottles here in SA, from late 1890s dumps, so they do go back a fair way.

yes they were apparently most commonly made from 1890 to 1910 or so.
Went I say they arent early I mean they arent typically earlier than the end of the 19th century even though the medicine went back hundreds of years.
