Found this bottle top in the ocean; the glass looks olive green when held up to the light. Any thought as to when it may have been made?

Hard to say exactly how old it is without the rest of the bottle but it could date anywhere between the early 1800's up until at least the 1870's, judging by that lip finish. Generally I see bottles with that style of hand applied "double oil" finish on dip mold and three piece mold black glass ale and porter bottles out of the UK and Europe- here's a three piece mold ale in my collection that has a very similar finish and dates from about the 1850's-1870's. Hope this helps!

My guess is sometime in the 1850s-1880s.
