I have had this bottle for about 3 years and research has turned up nothing about the company, date of mfg, origin, etc. The bottle itself has two seams on the triangular corners that end just over the shoulder. The neck has stretch marks. The bottom shows a seam all around, about 1/16" above the base. No seam across the bottom. The color is deep green and the bottle is full of liquid with a cork top. Only see a dimple about 1/8" diameter on center of the bottom. Any help in identifying this would be very appreciated.

The label looks like something I'd expect from the 1910s. Maybe a late example of a BIM bottle? I'm not sure what the cut-off tends to be for BIM bottles in the US, that looks exactly like the sort of bottles we get from the 1910s up here.
