Mine definitely looks like a Penn Oval according to the picture. But as I stated before, the Baltimore oval had the letter B below the w. t. & co. Mine has the A and U S A.

Don't know how my post got mixed in with the other post, thought I was adding a new post. Don't know how to delete them and start over. I'll keep looking.
Need help with a colbolt blue bottle. No marks other than a swirled pontil??? No seams, and is sort of layered. Lots of air bubbles. Seems to be about four sections, life waves across bottle. Hope the pictures do it justice. Purchased this and about 50 other vintage bottles at a local swap...
