I read about a historical figure or historic event on a bottle I'm pretty sure that's what's on here whether it's historic or not I guess I'm not sure. I do know it has sharp open pontil & i can feel the bore so i think that means it would be a true applied lip...?..I think i see a few air venting marks,but not many,but then again their so freakin small..there are bubbles in the glass. in the neck they get long and drawn out but again it could be a crack...im not sure. its so hard 4me2tell! there is a mold seam very very faint on the base but it doesn't go all the way. the base isn't all flat there is a big dip or hole init...I've never done this b4..I have been reading&reading i had no idea how much goes n2 trin 2date a bottle...Thats how i ended up here....I'm hoping someone could help a gal out..I dont even know if im using this forum thing right..1st time 4this to....thank u
