You can tell its from 1923 because as detailed below old glass bottles were marked by the last 2 digits of the year on the bottom of each glass bottle!
Measurements of this flask/bottle are 6 1/2 x 3 x 1
Glass dates:
Most bottle manufacturers molded the year into the glass at the bottom of the bottle in 2-digit format. You’ll often find it in the lower right portion when looking at the bottom (some dates are much easier to distinguish than others). This will usually tell you–within a year or two–when the whiskey was bottled.
Sometimes you’ll find two different 2-digit dates in the same bottle. Generally the earlier date refers to the year the bottle mold was created, and the latter is the year the bottle was made.
Eagle Flasks: The “Eagle” flask is the first of four flasks described here that were primarily produced and popular during the first couple decades of the 20th century. Possibly as early as the late 1890s or more likely the very early 1900s (at the Illinois Glass Company the Eagle first appeared in the 1906 catalog), the Eagle style of flask was developed and quickly became quite popular. The origin of the name "Eagle" is unknown though it likely originated as some glasswork's proprietary name for the shape which eventually became generic for the style as they are listed by that name in various bottle makers catalogs (IGCo. 1903, 1920; Obear-Nester 1922). A similar style with two rings at the junction of the neck and shoulder was called the "Billy"; another variation called the "Comfort Oval" had one side that was concave which allowed it to "...fit the hip pocket in comfort ..." (IGCo. 1906; Feldhaus 1987). Unlike most shoo-fly and picnic flasks the Eagle actually held the stated or implied capacity more or less. This may have been a function of the myriad of consumer protection laws - including truth in labeling - which began to be enacted and enforced during the era of this flask styles popularity (Young 1967).
Distinguishing features of the Eagle flask style are: the precisely vertical/parallel sides, the short base pedestal which is almost as wide as the body, the highly compressed body from front to back giving a cross section that is a very flattened oval, and the bead ring on the neck typically right above the junction of the neck and shoulder (like the pictured flasks). These flasks came in a myriad of sizes from 3 ozs. to 32 ozs., though the most popular were the pint and half pint sizes judging from the examples seen today (IGCo. 1906, 1920; Obear-Nester 1922). The finish on these flasks is almost always a brandy/straight brandy style with the bead ring collar about the same size and diameter as the lower neck ring. Rarely, the finish is an oil finish; other finish styles are, of course, possible but have not been observed (empirical observations).
