We were digging up a washed out culvert today and this broken bottle came up. I know it's broken, but can someone give me an approximate age? There is a old house 500 yards away that I am going to try an get permission to hunt.
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. That could be an 8, or a letter b in the bottom, but if so its very crude, almost looks like its just a melt mark. There is a seam on one side I believe. Lots of air bubbles in the glass, and the inside bottom of it is bumpy and off center.
