It is probably a snap case type pontil. Not a smooth base so the year would probably be 1855 to 1860ish. ?

Do you have a picture of this snap case type pontil? Leon.

Unfortunately I cant find any of mine off hand to share . So I screen shot a picture off Tod's sodasandbeers website. It just looks so similar to me and could be wrong.

Heard of it but even the poor quality picture you provided still leaves me wondering exactly what it looks like. I think I would need to see up close in person a nice clean example to examine. THANKS, LEON.

Probably right around Civil War era. The best way to date a bottle like that is if someone can find the manufacturer in the business listings of the era. Then you can get the range they were in business.
