There are a couple of points that don't seem to add up, you say that you've dated it between 1925 and 31 but the analysis seems to be dated 1881 [can you confirm the date]. If so then it cannot date from the 1930's as these analysis' were changed every 5 to 10 years and mostly stopped in the 1930's. It also looks as if it sealed with a stopper cork and these were not used in the industry [apart from Teachers Highland Cream] until around 1930 or slightly later. The bottle is said to contan 26 and 1/2 ounces where it should read 26 and 2/3 ounces. It also looks to be from a modern one piece mould rather than a 2 or 3 piece mould. Can you post a photo of the markings on the base of the bottle as these factory markings may help.
