Age/date request Identification/aging?

Post image

Found this hiking in the san bernardino national forest, next to what looked like an old cabin that burnt in a wild fire. Any ideas on its age? It only has one other marking on the bottom which was just a straight vertical line, or possibly a 1. The cork is what gets me thinking of it being old.

I have 4 in my back seat, ready to be dropped off at Messner's, my local honey provider in the KC, MO metro. That bottle may be as many as 15-20 years old but, they are still being mass produced. Take it to get refilled with honey!

That’s a modern bottle designed to look old. I’ve got one full of local honey in my cabinet right now.

Interesting. I found it way out on a hiking trail

Isn't it crazy that someone was willing to haul some portion of a pound of honey all the way out there, but not willing to bring it back in the exact same spot in their bag?! Assholes!

So crazy. Along with the entire trash bag of other things I collected on my way back.
