Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.

ODOL, established 1893,  is a famous brand in Germany and still produced today. Since 1974 member of SmithKline Beecham Group, now GlaxoSmithKline, UK .

Text is in German only, but interesting images and advertising through the decades here

...and certainly yes, I'm older  :-*

Keith, thank you for this end of summer puzzle - never thought I should investigate this bottle!  :-*

Found interesting pages CV of K.A. Lingner, inventor and manufacturer of ODOL
http://lingner-archiv.jimdo.com/

ODOL for collectors' page states that without original label it is nearly impossible to date the bottles. Lots of photos of different labels there  ;)

However, bottles with screw cap are post 1936 which means that yours is PRE 1936 (same as mine, my smaller 'travel size' bottles with Bakelit cap are younger).

The archive does not mention the base mark at all  :-X

Bottles (Patent 75789)
quote
Unbestritten stellt die Form der Odol-Flasche eine einmalige Synthese zwischen Funktionalität, Design und Wiedererkennungswert dar.

(google translate: Undeniably, the shape of the Odol bottle represents a unique synthesis between functionality, design and brand recognition.)
unquote

manufactured by:
at the start: Glashütte von Mün­zel & Palme in Röhrsdorf,
from 1895 Glas­hütte Trassel in Ober-Warmensteinach und in Schön­thal (Bohemia)
from 1906 in Immenreuth
Furthermore, the Lingner works possessed glassworks in Brand-Erbisdorf and in Bodenbach.

Verified today that also the small bottles bear the ODOL mark under the base.
Keith, did you get the small one, too?

Meanwhile, I contacted Dr. Ulf Funke, author of the Lingner archive pages, regarding the base mark and whether it could help to date the label-less bottles. I'll let you know further results.
