I have a bottle that my boyfriend found in an old bottle dump in the area. Alot of the bottles are pretty common but this one I can't find at all. Though maybe some of you pros might recognize it. The bottom says "DESPERTANDO" or something of the like. Can't make it out at all. Here it is.

Hey Lea,
Not too old (I'm guessing 1946) from the bottom. It looks to be a syrup or something but the 'federal law' verbiage indicates that it likely contained alcohol. That was required on post-prohibition bottles for awhile. Don't know about 'deperado' but this bottle is not old enough to have any collectible vallue (yet [;)]).

Thanks ! I knew it wasn't too old and definitely not worth anything. Just finding it hard to name some of these especially since it says something on the bottom but unable to decipher.

LOL. I keep telling my boyfriend not to bring home every bottle but he is so fascinated about finding them.
