It looked old and different compared to all the others. From my knowledge it looks to be possibly handblown into a mold. It has a little bit of rust in the middle, which i was also going to ask how that could be removed. There doesn't seem to be any markings on it. If anyone knows anything about the bottle i'd be interested to hear when it was possibly made and what it was used for maybe.

Wonderful irregularities. Definitely looks blown in a mold. As for the staining, a soak in CLR or muriatic acid usually works. Not sure what it held—maybe olive oil?—some of the more experienced collectors may have a more definitive answer.

Cute little 1870's-1880's "cathedral" cologne or perfume bottle. Similar form to a cathedral peppersauce but looks a bit small for that. Nice find!
