this is what I do believe to be a fire grenade bottle is pontiled and after looking at the bottom there fine fragments of either dirt or maybe pieces of iron? in the glass itself see what you think?

It looks like a hand blown copy to me. I have one similar in a different color. I hope for you its not :) I hope yours is genuine. I hope your ad on Fleabay for this item sells. Good luck!
 
ok you did see it been trying to find it there jedi and I'm wondering at some point if somebody didn't happen to put through a very mild tumbling or spun with copper bb's or something smooth but has rough pitting too at the same time
 
No offense meant , but I believe it is modern hand blown in Mexico .
 
no none at all thank you for the info i'll just revise my ad that's all I appreciate it
 
it looks newer to me. With a the hot shops springing up all over any one with a minimal level of skill cud have made it. but I'm beating China .
 
I bought mine off of Fleabay for $12 and thought I scored years ago, only to find out it was most likely made in Mexico :/ not open pontiled pre 1865 :/
