Anything on the base? Also hard to tell from the pic, is it a screw top? If so, then it's likely this side of 1900. What's that in the circular embossing? I put my glass up to the monitor screen but I still couldn't make it out.

I also donot believe these are new bottles because,I found mine in my sweet diggin spot,where finds are from early 1800,s to 1930,s.

Liquor bottles were embosed with the Federal law prohibits....after the end of prohibition 1932 and up until 1964. So your bottle falls into that time frame.[]
