I went over your pictures and my opinion may not sit well, sorry.
I think what you have is an early airline nip. My guess is 30's or 40's.
I'd need more like how tall etc. but I'm confident in my conclusion for now.
What are you asking dollar wise?

Euro mini bottles may have characteristics that stayed around a little longer than over here. Eric's estimation of age is right on, 1940s at latest. Bols liqueurs from that era are usually under 5.00 in US. Might get a tad more w/European collectors.

Hello Eric,
Bottle is 4-3/8" tall, base 1-1/4" X 1-1/4".
It is a BIMAL so don't know why you think it is 30's or 40's.....date of 1 January 1868 on label. Can't imagine that the mfr would reproduce a bimal bottle for a miniature so I do think it is older than you think however you may be much more knowledgeable than I on whiskies/liqueurs.

Price: $65.00 or make an offer.

The attached photo shows better the neck showing it is a bimal.
A 2nd photo will show a closeup of base

It is not uncommon for Euro minis to be produced with techniques that seem to not match up w/era. The date has more to do with company history than production.
