The lip of the bottle. ..if I place my finger in the top it is a smaller then down further past the lip...it does appear it was added to the neck/ 2 seperate pieces. And in the one photo please note the seam...there is another on the other side of the bottle.

Thank you guys for the info. Im sure its tough...this bottle was from a guy who did lots of digging in his life, primarily he looked for civil war era items. This bottle does appear to have 2 semi seams on the ovoid portion of the bottle. Maybe I can add more photos if it would help.
