Hi David,

Nice description for the bottle, altho I would say its a snowflake ground instead of the bubble suffused ground.Smiley

I would say it looks like a real thing to me, could be dated later 19th-20th, the stopper is a typical later stopper from 70s.

Sadly it has nothing to do with Imperial or high quality tho, you might not be able to find exactly same bottles on any serious collections, but you might  be able to some find higher quality ones of ruby red on snowflake overlay bottles. do some comparisons with those bottles, you will understand what is higher quality. But that is a good study bottle for new collectors, next time when you have another chance to buy a similar one, you can compare with this bottle.
