Hi yall, I live around Houston and have dug old spots and found interesting bottles and beer cans . I recently came across an old bottle that I need to see if any of yall can help me identify and possibly get a rough estimate of year and price.
I have looked up bottles and came across a site or two that leads me to belive it is before 1900 and I believe it is hand spun. It is dark olive green and these are some of the specs on the bottle.
210mm long
100mm edge to edge on width of base
approx 33mm deep in bottome
11mm spot in bottom
40mm top of bottle
33top of neck
45mm base of neck
I don’t see any cracks and looks to be in great shape. I don’t see any seems ( lines ) down the length of the bottle. It looks to me like it might be a pontil by the way the very bottom center of the concave looks rough, like it has been broken off a piece of glass it was attatched to.
If you look at the top of the neck of the bottle where it joins the piece the cork inserts into you can see what looks to be a little bit of left over glass where the 2 pieces were joined. I don’t see any markings of any kind and no seams of any kind.
