This bottle, and others with the Federal warning (that usually has "Forbids" rather than "Prohibits"), were made after Prohibition was repealed in the 1930s. By Jan. 1935, any bottle making company HAD to put this warning label on ALL liquor bottles (not beer or wine though)....to prohibit the re-use of them...by moonshiners, etc. Along with this labeling...the bottle makers also used codes, usually on the bottom (base) of the bottle...that denoted the distiller's permit # - which is the # following the "D" code; the bottle companies permit # - this is the "119" code in your example; and the date - either a single digit (in the 1930s) or double digit...like the "57" on your bottle, which means 1957. Any other codes, are unknown as to meaning...to me. However, there is often the bottle makers logo between the permit code and the date code...or, this may be a dash...and the logo is somewhere else on the base. A common logo is for Owens-Illinois Glass Co...and looks like an "eye" or the planet Saturn with a ring around it...but is really an oval with an "I" inside (or a dot) with a diamond overlapping. Sorta like this <(I)>
