Here is the best I could do with the bottom: You can see the dragon's head at the top if you squint--the embossing is actually very clear. What is the dragon's head for, anyway? I can't find it in a list of maker's marks:

Hey Ronvae, I would guess by the bottom marks that the bottle was made in 1954. As far as the 'dragon', could it possibly be a boars head? I know that Gordons Gin used a wild boars head as a trademark. I'm not sure on the top...could you get a close up? If you try to photograph the bottom with 'backlighting' it may give more detail (see attached photo).
Hey Tony, I saw a "Genie" bottle like yours just listed on eBay...

Hello diggermeister- I have a "Horn Of Plenty" bottle, Federal Law Prohibits. It's yours only for the shipping cost if you want it.

Hey, sorry Gary but that wasn't my bottle[sm=lol.gif]
How far are you on your website?

 

[diggermeister]

Hello Bettyboop, Thanks that would be GREAT! I will e-mail you my address. Can you post a photo here?
Hey Tony, I have set up a yahoo! web/chat page but, can't seem to get the url to work. I am going to work on it some today...I will be trying to get a 'real' web site working by the end of July [8|]...

Wow Bettyboop, that is nice [8D]!
Well I got the the link to work. I had typed it in wrong [&:]. Here is the corrected version:

If you want to join, just mention that you are from the forum and you'll get fast approval.
This will be a place to talk about and list photos of your post~prohibition bottles. It will also be a research tool for me to complete the first addition of the 'guide'. Thanks to all for your interest.
BTW; Perhaps the admin. of this great site (antique-bottles.net) will someday add a forum for this emerging segment of bottle collecting (hint) [8|]. After all, there does seem to be an interest in them, FOUR Pages Worth [sm=lol.gif]...
