I got this at a garage sale today. Just wondering if anyone has seen one like this before and how old you think it may be? How do I tell if it's cast iron?
Thanks,
Julie:)

The edges are pretty smooth like they were ground down. I think it was ground down and poilshed. It doesn't look like a chunk that was just knocked out because of the way it looks and feels. One side of the mark is level with the bottle and as you run your finger along the mark you can feel it...
Hi. I don't know much about old bottles so I was hoping you could help me out. I have this old perfume bottle and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about how old it is as well as any other info you might have. I do know that it has an open pontil on the bottom. Thanks in advance for any...
Thank you for the info...I have another bottle I need help with. I can barely make it out but I think it says 1841 on the bottom. If anyone can tell me anything about it, I'd appreciate it. Like what kind of bottle it is, etc. There is a circle on the front of it I think this was where a label...
Sorry about the photo..I'll take another one..I keep having to resize them. The bottle says "F. Brown's Ess of Jamaica Ginger Philada. How do you tell if a bottle is open pontiled? Thanks!

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can tell me about how old this bottle is? It has flowers etched into the glass & a pontil mark like I've never seen before kinda looks like a half moon. I'm new to the whole bottle thing so anything you can tell me would be helpful. Thanks! I'll post another message...
I found about 35 bottles in all..mostly a lot of old beer bottles, some with partial labels on them..a few Pabst & 1 Strohl's. Most of them are from the same year (73) though a few are 72'. Most of them don't have any labels. I cleaned a few of them up though I'm not sure if I should've...
There are some numbers on the bottom...looks like it was made in 73'. Thanks for the info. How do I go about cleaning the label? I washed it with a wet paper towel and got a lot of the mud off it but not sure how to make it look any better without wreaking it.
I found several old bottles in the woods behind my house. There is a 32 oz. 7-up bottle with almost the whole label intact on it (though it is very dirty). Just wondering if anyone can tell me about how old this is?
