Old bottle or not

[rasrandy]

Found this at an old property. It has a triangle on the bottom
with the letter R. The side on the bottom has 66. The inside
bottom is uneven as if on tilt after being made.Dont know
much about bottles,hoping someone can ID this.Thanks HHs

Ras,

nice bottle find.

Hope this helps:

.Reed Glass Company, Rochester, NY (1927-1956)


* Reed...................F.E.Reed Glass Company (or Reed Glass Company), Rochester, NY (c.1899-1956). See Rochester Glass Works.

* Rochester Glass Wks.............Rochester Glass Works, Rochester, NY. (1862-1908). Alice Creswick in The Fruit Jar Works (1995:273) shows this chronology for the Rochester Glass Works and succeeding firms, evidently from city directory listings researched by either herself or Dick Roller: Rochester Glass Works (1862-1881); Kelley & Co. (1882-1885); Kelley, Reed & Co. (1886-1887); Eugene Reed & Co. (1888-1889); E. P. Reed & Co. (1890-1894); Rochester Glass Works (1895-1898); F. E. Reed Glass Company/Works (1899-1900); Rochester Glass Works (1901-1908); F. E. Reed & Co. (or F.E.Reed Glass Co.) (1909-1927); Reed Glass Co. (1927-1946); and Reed Glass Co., Inc. (1947-1956). Several marks were used at various times by this factory, and the exact period of time during which each mark was used is not completely certain at this time. Known marks include "Reed", "F.E.R.", "F.E.R.G.Co." "R in a triangle", and "Rochester Glass Wks". Some bottles are known with the marking "Rochester NY Glass Works" embossed in a circle on the base. The full factory name could conceivably have been embossed on bottles dating from anytime within the 1862-1908 timeframe.

Probably early 1900's, nice find!

early-mid 1900's But were bottoms that uneven in the 50's? Seems kinda crude, but if it is it is forgot about the paper label :P
