Hello Markbot, Welcome to the forum. I'd like to caution you against the old and fallible method of dating bottles by their mold lines. There's many details of manufacture that help date a bottles age. The mold line will give an idea that a bottle is handmade, but lip type and method of finish of lip is more helpful as well as the bottom features are far more telling. With time and research and experience you'll start to pick things up. Knowing other things like knowing the bottles' proprietor, when they were at certain addresses and what products they "put up" in their bottles will help in a big way. Your bottle/jar is likely to date approx. 1895- 1910
Thanx for posting and enjoy the forum,
Fred

Hey Wayne, fyi, a friend of mine dug one of those green triangular ones in Hawaii back in the 1970's and is the only one I have ever seen. Always was "green" with envy and have been hoping to dig one for years and never as much as a shard, so I presume they are scarce, as mentioned previously. Jack
