Subject: [CR]dating a coloral water bottle?

i have a coloral bottle that i wish to sell. however, i do not know very much about it. i have no background on it, so that doesn't help. i'm wondering if there is a way to date them? unfortunately, i do not have a digital camera, so i'll have to describe it. the bottle appears to be chromed aluminum, or otherwise finished aluminum and is in fair shape (nicks and scrapes). the "grip" lines are very thin, and there are about 20 of them arranged down the bottle, covering 4/5ths of the bottle. these are also like lines of circumference: they are not vertical (as the ones are in the "market highs" section of CR), rather they go around the body of the bottle. the bottom says "made and anodised by coloral products Ltd steward street birmingham england." the cap is two piece: one metal top and a cork stopper that plugs into the bottleneck. the top of the cap is painted (by hand, looks like) green, and there are vertical ridges in the sides. there is one hole that is far too small to be a straw hole, i am guessing it might be a strap/string/lanyard type attachment? anyway, any advice is appreciated.

thanks
