I've had this bottle in my collection for a few years. And I honestly have no idea what it is lol.

Originally I purchased it because I liked how it looked and over the years I have always been curious about it.

Lots of digging on the internet, Ebay, collector sites, have come up with nothing. I did have a nice man on a Facebook page who thinks it's a French champagne bottle.

No marks on the bottle at all.
Definitely Medusa, and the pendant is attached to the chain, the chain is attached to the leather wrapping.

Any thoughts, clues, anything would be super appreciated.

Welcome to the form! Without pictures of the lip or base it's hard to get a sense of the age of the bottle, but from what I can see it looks to be machine-made which would date it to the 20th century or newer. The design in general looks like the sort of thing you'd see a lot in the mid-late 20th century for fancy liquors of the type that one would give as gifts, but I can't say what exactly it would be. The shape doesn't look like a champagne bottle to me.

The seal is missing but looks like a mid to late twentieth century absinthe bottle. Maybe brandy but weird.

Yes the seal was missing when I bought it, never thought about absinthe that could be a possibility due to the embellishment.

Yeah the lip shows that it's definitely a machine-made 20th century bottle, but I can't tell you much beyond that really.
