I am blown away. When I walk I am always looking at fallen trees found all types of things but this one is special. I just saw a butt of bottle sticking out due all the rain the top soil washing away the dirt it exposed itself. Pulled it out and I got this!, Marietta bottling company 8 oz 27 on the bottom
Any and all help rarity value?

Nice soda, though it's too bad about the crack. It looks like there is enough intact glass above the slug plate to salvage a nice whiskey double-shot glass from the bottle.

Can anyone put an age on this bottle? Possible value considering the crack?

Around 1900 or so. Unless it's an extremely rare bottle, the value will be minimal due to the crack. Nice find though.
