Dear Cathy,

      The material does not indicate its age. The style of the bottle, the foot, the neck, the hollowing, etc., these all tend to make us assume it is modern.
Best,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey

Paul - thanks for the advice. I looked it up and it was easy to do. The specific gravity is between 2.92 and 3.15 so it looks like you were right!
So I guess that means its not an old bottle
