Maybe it is a Mold repair as Red has suggested before Rory,as it would make sense on a heavily manufactured bottle.

Good morning all of you great people. Steve, I need to ask about the size of these marks - diameter and depth. Maybe even a close-up picture. After seeing the pictures Rory just put up - And his pointing out that there ware two on each side of the one bottle, I am beginning to think they could be venting plugs, put in the mold to help let the glass blow to the mold better.
I have a couple scroll flasks and both have face vent evidence on the side parting lines of the molds.
I am trying to put together a blog for the homepage on mold venting. It might just include these marks. If I could see them it would help, but I know that venting has to be done to keep the air from pushing the hottest glass together and causing bird swings - though I have never seen one in a scroll flask.
This mark makes me think a hole was drilled and plugged with a dowel having side slots or flats on it. I have seen them done before.
Great' bottles to have. I have just never justified the investment costs - being a trained tight-wad by my Mom.
