I'm pretty sure those two indent lines are repairs to the bottle from when it was made. I think if I remember, they would bring a bottle out of the mold, and there was a whole at a thin spot in the bottle, and they would pinch it together with a tool of some sort. I call them "pinch marks" but thats not what they are called. They are really interesting features of old bottles. Thanks for the pics
