I have a bottle (two, actually) that I've wondered about. I have no reason to think they're not American-made, but who knows?
One has a neat blow-pipe (or a crude disc) pontil scar, the other a neat glass-tipped pontil scar. They are likely blown in a 2-piece mold -- possibly the same mold -- but, it's difficult to make out any trace of seams. They seem to be inflated further after removal from the mold, one more than the other. Lip finish is a simple flare.
I think of these two as early table bottles for vinegar or peppersauce, but I don't know for sure. Anyone got an idea?
