Info on old bottle

I was given an old bottle that my sister found while out in the back country of Idaho. It's a clear glass "Old Quaker" whiskey bottle. 4/5 QUART on the bottom, cork top and embellished with the profile of a Quaker and stalks of wheat underneath. Can anyone tell me anything about this bottle?
 
This might help. It was published by Time Magazine online.

Old Quaker, "A Friendly Whiskey," has been made in the U. S. for 50 years. Today it is marketed by a subsidiary of Schenley Distillers Corp. Some members of the Society of Friends object mildly to Quaker Oil, Quaker Oats, the Quaker Line, Quaker Novelty Puffing. But they object vigorously to Old Quaker whiskey. They object to Old Quaker's implicit identification with the "purity and integrity" of the Quaker faith. They resent the implication that Quakers drink; they aren't supposed to. The Society is displeased that the Old Quaker trademark is a picture of William Penn, standard-bearer of Quakerism in America; that some Schenley advertisements have featured a photograph of a whiskey drinker in Quakerish dress.
