OCuk Detectives: Can you identify this for me?

Morning all,

Firstly hope Reddit links are allowed? If not then Mods please feel free to delete this post.

I have the item linked here https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/5xvl4d/green_glass_possible_toothpick_holder/
and its had us thinking about it for a while. Can the famous OCuk Detectives shed any light on this for me?

Its glass and as I say has me thinking its a promotional item for a beer company but I cannot find which one!

It would have been helpful to have images from various angles.

Thanks for the reply!
No other photos I am afraid as its about 20 miles away

But its about an inch high, round, a hole in the middle (Which I am guessing is to hold Toothpicks?) and is plain green glass apart from the print on the front. It doesnt have any markings on it other than the "Seal" and is pretty nondescript really.

Its not so much to find out what it is (It was in a collection of Eyebaths from Ebay but is not an Eyebath) but to find out which beer company the logo is for.

What gave you the idea it was beer related?
Green bottle glass?

I think the more interesting question is why you bought an eye bath collection from ebay? Is stamp collecting too exciting?

Looks like an old German schnapps glass to me? Hard to tell.

Yes its due to the Green Bottle Glass and the Wheat/Barley down the side of the Seal.
Reminds me of the "Stamp" you get on a bottle of Pilsner Urquell.

I have learnt not to ask! My Dad collects the Eyebaths and has a collection of over 150. Recently discovered Ebay and finds it easier than trawling through Carboots and NickNack shops.
