Not sure what to make of this one. I bought it at the flea market. It glows under a black light. It's about a half gallon. Any ideas what was for? The seam stops at the finish.
What kind of ink bottle is this? It's nice and crude and full of seed bubbles. Has what feels like sand stuck in the glass on the shoulder. The seam stops at the finish on the neck. 1890s? I wasn't able to find any pictures on the internet like it.
Hi, Brad. I sure we can work something out. I love my Texas bottles, but it's really just the rare San Antonio ones that I would be hesitant to part with. Sounds like it would be going to a good home.
Thanks, I love it. I picked it up at the Houston bottle show last week. The collectors there had so much awesome stuff. I wish I could've afforded to pick up a few more. Next year...

I'm still new to bottles, but I can see no evidence of a pontil. I posted more pictures of the seams on the sides and the base.
Unfortunately there's no markings. It may be earlier than I think. The seam stops about half inch on one side and a quarter inch on the other. The tooling is crude, and the lip is flared out.
I found it in Schulenburg, Texas. It was from a dump in town that was unearthed during construction.
Thanks. I had no clue about the price. It's a neat bottle.
Also, I drove past the place that made the Coca Cola return rack. They're still in businesses... Although they did slightly change the company name. It's now the Kaspar Wire Works.
