Can anyone tell me the age or anything at all
I found a 12” clear glass bottle that had a cork top and is four inches wide
Ste Pierre Smirnoff Fls
Purveyors to the imperial Russian court 1886-1917
four emblems with the years 1877, 1886, 1882, and 1896
on the opposite side is embossed 1818
the bottom has the number 17 and the number 6907
there are two seams that go right from the lip on the neck to the bottom which is then finished off with a circle seam, in the pictures I have tried to make them more noticeable marking up where to look
on the side with the crown on the bottom is what I can only really describe as almost a pinch point, this is also in the photos
there is absolutely no more writing and no size on it
i have found an exact picture on the internet but they did not have answers either and I have literally exhausted everywhere I can think to find anything out about this bottle

Thanks for posting.
Despite the 19th century dates embossed on this bottle, it is far newer. It is machine made and no more than about 50 years old....the markings on the base confirm this.
I am fairly sure it is not cork top but instead the threaded lip has been nearly sheared off.
Here is a link to an eBay auction for a Smirnoff ad from 1958.

However bottles containing alcohol prior to 1965ish would have the legally required embossing "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RESUSE...
