Old? Bottle

[cambria09]

Hello All. Found this right on top at an old house site. I think it's fairly old cuz of the neck attachment. Any info is appreciated. Thanks for the view. C9

What's the bottom look like? Any numbers on it? Is the bottom crude looking or does it appear to be machine made?

It's a two piece molded beer/wine/whiskey with an applied taper lip...without any visible embossing on the bottle, I'd give it a date range from the 1870'same to 1890's...

Can you give us a photo of the base, to see if it may be pontiled? Bottles from this period do not have nofor the most part have numbers on the base, it's either a smooth base or its pontiled

In any case, awesome bottle...keep digging the location, when there's one bottle, there's usually many

Is that black glass or really dark green?

Hello MuckyBottles. Thanks for the reply and great info. The bottom of this bottle was encrusted with a tar like crud that took a couple of days to remove.

The bottom is pontiled, the glass is dark green, and there is a "K" and "XII" embossed on it. Also it hold about 14-OZ of water.

What do you think? Does this info tell anything more about its use or vintage?

I will visit this site again and probe around for the bottle pit. I'm not really a bottle-guy but I love finding them. HH. C9

I agree with Mucky. Sure looks like a beer bottle that had paper a label.

I would definitely probe around, given that common bottles from this era fetch at least $5-10..old glass in good condition is bank..

Unfortunately, it's not a pontiled bottle..pontiled usually* don't have markings on the base..

Only if people new the value of antique bottles. .especially the rare and scarce ones..

Glad they don't ..tee hee
