Hi Tom,
To best analyze the bottle we would need to get our hands on it and examine the object in person. However, I have been going through the bottle analysis questions on this bottle dating link https://sha.org/bottle/dating.htm#Question%201 on the society of Archaeological history website.

So far I assume that the bottle dates from between 1870 and 1920, so slightley before the 1920s.
I went to the "makers marks" section on the website. The "C" makers mark indicates that the bottle may have been made by:

 Cunningham & Co       https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/Cunningham.pdf

or by
Chattanooga Glass company          https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/ChattanoogaGlass.pdf
The "C" makers mark more closely resembles the chattenooga mark, but the bottle more closely resembles the pictures from Cunningham &co . Are you sure it is a "C" and not a "G" ?
These are only guesses and I am not trying to make any definite assertions. Furthermore, I would be better of analyzing the real bottle.

I hope this was helpful, and please let me know what you find out.

Hello All

Attached are a couple of images of a large glass bottle  65 cm high by 32 cm diameter.

This is a Burnaby Village Museum found object, so I have no idea as to usage or age.

“1920 / C” is molded into the bottom of the bottle.

Any ideas or suggestions?
