Information Needed

On our last trip up to the dump we managed to find our first intact amber. While I suspect this one isn't particularly old, I'm not sure. It's missing the usual pre-pro (or was it post-pro) Federal Government re-use or resale embossing so I'm not sure. It was at the bottom of the pit, nestled up against a fairly large rock which is probably the only reason it wasn't broken. If the old adage of 'deeper is older' holds true, this may be an older bottle. I look forward to your collective expertise.

I'd have to say pre-pro. The graphics are to good for 60's+. Oh, post pro had the warning.
It could be a bootleg since the American and Vancouver are on the same thing. I don't think BC ever took part in Prohibition. That company may have been well organized if you get my drift.
All that said I actually don't have a clue but it was fun speculating wildly. Someone who does know something may show up soon.
It's is cool.

Thank you both for the info. I'm guessing that this dump is post-TOC, which isn't to say we won't find some late 19th century stuff. After all, who throws away new things?

You can never rule out a great milk, soda, poison etc.. It's a lot of work to get the few keeper but great fun. Read the peanut butter post.
