I have about 20 black glass thee piece mold with hella lot of whittle marks (chattering from cold molds and steam is what I have been told causes whittle marks). Mine are very rustic and I thought they had to be 1860’s but maybe earlier? I need to dig those out, I used to have them out all the time. As a collection they show beautifully especially because of the variety and the sizes. Thanks for reminding me of these.

I agree with ROBBYBOBBY64. This is an excellent window bottle in amber glass. Not black glass. Here are some black glass bottles in a window:

These are substantially older, European I believe. Still quite impressive. With black glass, one should not be able to readily see the light come though easily. The color always remains blackish more so.
