I'm not a big title collector but after this, I may become one.

Hunted a yard for a little lady who turned 100, 2 days ago. Lots of targets, mostly trash, but a few coins including a '60 Roosevelt.

But found two bottles, both Harry E Wilkins Whiskey bottles. The dirty one has the dirt on the inside and I can't open the cap. The second one is clean and contains what I assume may be very old whiskey.

These are heavily embossed. The front has the owners face and the distillery embossed there. The sides have sheaves of wheat embossed. A warning against reselling the bottles also appears. I understand that has some significance but I don't know what it is.

Also does anybody know what the codes on the bottom are and how I might learn what they indicate.

"federal Law forbids..." indicates the bottle was made between 1935 and 1965. This label was required after prohibition. Screw cap also indicates that it's post prohibition.
