Schweppes match striker

Went to an estate sale and found this Schweppes Table Waters match striker for $13, they had it tagged as a candleholder. 1940 mini PBRs too.

I also like the Pabst bottles with the actual blue ribbons attached. Off hand, anyone know the time frame on that?..

The PBRs? The OI date code on them is for 1940, the Schweppes, not so easy to figure out, but I’ve seen a few listings saying 1900-1910

Thanks Crwncrk.
...I'm guessing the blue attached ribbons were a one production year/short time happening. The nick-name certainly stuck around to present.
