You all helped me greatly with the last unknown bottle, so let's see if you can help me again. I got this bottle for my birthday from my mom who found it at a flea market/antique store. Here's the description:
It's 3 and 3/4 inches tall, aqua-green with lots of mineral/medicine? staining on the inside. The mold seam stops right at the base of the neck of the bottle and the lip is applied? i guess. Bottle is somewhat heavy with bubbles in the glass and one seam sticks out noticeably. It's thick glass. I think it looks like an ink bottle, but I'm no expert.
On the front, it says "PATENTED MCH. 6. 83." (March 06, 1883, perhaps?). On the bottom is says BIXBY and it has two bubbles poking out of the bottom, making the surface uneven. Please take a look at this picture and give me some ideas if you have them. I do think it's definitely 1880-1900 (based on the mold seam and the imperfections) but I don't know; I hope it is.
Thanx for the help. Bottle Girl.
