What kind of bottle is this. The white thing in the lip looks like an unmelted piece of sand. IMG_2053 (640x480).jpg IMG_2054 (640x480).jpg IMG_2055 (640x480).jpg IMG_2057 (640x480).jpg

Looks to have some good honest wear on the base. Probably old enough to be a period Pontic scar. Nice one

A woman I used to work for gave them to me in the early 70's. Her house was full of antiques.After she passed away, her daughter in law sold everything and made a bundle of $$.

Holy cow. Thanks DCMatt. All of my other bottles that I have dug over the years are only worth a couple dollars. I had planned on selling this on Ebay. I don't think I will now.
