According to the following information this bottle could be date between 1893 and 1916.
Rainier Brewing Company (1884 — 1999) was a Seattle, Washington company that brewed Rainier Beer, a very popular brand in the Pacific Northwest. Rainier beer and the brewery date back to 1884 when Edward Sweeney established the Claussen—Sweeney Brewing Company in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.In 1893 Sweeney's company merged with two other breweries; the new company became known as the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company. Alcoholic beverages were outlawed in Washington state in 1916 and the Rainier brand was sold to a San Francisco, California company. Three years later, alcoholic beverages were outlawed nationwide. Following the repeal of Prohibition, the brewery was purchased by Fritz and Emil Sick, who then repurchased the Rainier brand and began brewing Rainier beer in 1935. The brewery went through several names such as Sick's Seattle Brewing and Malting and Sicks Rainier Brewing Company during the 1935—1977 period.
