HEY ROCKHUNTER,
I would say that your bottle is late 50's to early 60's.Ive dug similar bottle's like it.The only thing different from your's is the ribbed embossing on your's.
Hope this give's you a better idea to age.

does the ribbed embossing add to the rarity of this bottle? I have never seen one like it.
it also had a 1. 3 7 on the bottom.

Hi,
The embossed ribbing may make it rarer but i doubt it.Alot of bottlers had thier own design for thier bottles.But, you may want to check in your area and try and find more info.Sometimes local bottles have different embossing than the national bottlers and this makes them more valuable.

The bottler was Owen Ill. and the number on the right will give you the year
1929 to 1954.
