What's it worth? Appraisal of antique bottle

 Trudy says:

I have a green glass bottle about 12 ½” tall there is a crack at the top but it does not go all the way through.  The cork is in it and it still has the liquid in it. On the front of the bottle not sure if it is etched or what it reads.  PER 1 MARTINI COCKTAILS ??SARE ESCLUSIVAMENTE MARTINI VERMOUTH (a little design) FOR MARTINI COCKTAILS USE ONLY MARTINI VERMOUTHS           Oh and at sometime someone got some tan paint on the bottle.

 

AW says: You bottle is pretty, but not particularly old or rare. And unfortunately the crack makes it nearly worthless.

It’s circa 20th century. It’s fashioned with a process called acid etched lettering which means that a was was cast around the bottle and acid was poured onto an area that was hollowed out for the lettering.
