This looks like the bottom of a wine bottle with a kick-up bottom. Can anyone ID the symbol on the bottom/ID age? Also, how do you figure it out? I searched for “green bottle bottom symbols/marks” but could not find it. Thanks so much.

It washed up on the east coast of FL and a friend discovered it.

I hope good things come your way.
 

I'm not sure if its 2 T or an X strange one for sure. I looked at a few different letters, but time is short for a the moment.

Scroll down the link page and there is lots of companies listed by letter/name.

It's relatively modern, probably made no earlier than 1970, the saltwater and sand just gave it a good beating.

Agreed. Thanks. The patterned edge tipped me off as to being more modern, but wasn’t sure how far back other than it was well worn on all sides which doesn’t happen on the concave side unless it has been sea tumbled for years.

Thanks for weighing in.

I contacted Bill at the historic bottles website...His reply...

Hi Kim...

Glad you've found my website to be interesting. No idea whose marking that is but is most likely a makers marking from a foreign (non-US) manufacturer sometime from the 1950s or later from the look of it. Both foreign an modern marks/bottles are beyond the scope of my website and (generally) the makers markings covered. So yes "modern" relatively speaking.

There is a German marking from around 1970 that is similar, but not exact in that it is a hammer crossing a sword...not two stylized hammers like your base. It was used by "Veba-Glas A.G." in Essen-Karnap (a town in what was West Germany which my book dates from).

Sorry I cant help out much....and good luck!
