That's a British bottle, some sort of carbonated soft drink..

"J. L. & Co. ; J. L. & Co. LTD. .....................John Lumb & Co. (1870s-1905), name changed slightly to: John Lumb & Company, Limited. (1905-1937), Castleford, Yorkshire, England. Became part of United Glass, Ltd, in 1937. After 1937 their mark was "U G B" positioned over an "L"

It looks like it's got a heck of a bird swing! Is that a strand of glass is see inside or just the picture?

bird swing? well pretty much all around the bottle are these line/swirls of glass almost looks like the glass dripped a little, does that make the bottle less desirable haha 2$ instead of 5?

A Bird Swing would be a string of glass from one side of the bottle to the other on the inside, your first pic makes it look like there may be one inside this bottle, is that the case? It would actually make the bottle more desireable if it is..
