Georges,

With the examples you've provided you may be on the way to answering your own question on dating.  It appears to me that key here is to match it up your bottle to the "mold" in which other examples were made.   It is obvious the the 'Fo Hound Soth LA 1984' bottle is quite different from the others, so it can be eliminated as a possible mold source.  Now it is just a matter of comparing the fine details in the shape of your bottle with other known dated examples that could have originated from the same or a sister mold.
