Age on a black glass bottle.

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

I found this bottle in a river dump full of bottles from the 1860s or so to the 1940s or 50s. It's made of heavy, dark black glass.There are lots of bubbles and no seam visible. It's a kick up but not a pontil. There is no embossing except for a crown on the shoulder. The bottle looks very crude except for the embossed crown. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks.

Looks to be in great shape - It would be a keeper here.

I got it pretty clean, but it wasn't an easy task. Caked on black mud and staining is pretty stubborn.

It appears to be a British beer or ale bottle from around 1870, or so. Are you in Canada?

I'm in Southern CT near New York City

Well, not too far from Canada. Does the bottle have inside threads in the mouth?

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

Not like screw, but it has a bit of an edge in the mouth.

Pretty sure it's a UK bottle, I've seen a decent amount of them over the years, people like them because of the crown...

Hello Bottle enthusiast.

If you see your post gone it is due to bickering. We are not going to have that on every thread. You may place people on ignore if you wish. This back and forth ends.
