Any Ideas?

Dug this tooled crown top bottle earlier today. It's either golden yellow or a amber yellow. I'm thinking a soda, but not 100% sure. No embossing other than a triangle on the bottom. What I thought was unique was that it not only has one triangle mark but three. Almost as if the base was accidently moved around in the base mold. Any ideas on how this happend? Is it a soda? what manufacture? Thanks for looking...

Here is the base pic.. Triangle, Triangle, Triangle....

I'd guess it's a beer bottle. The mold had only one triangle carved in it. Usually when someone blows into a mold, he lets the glass drop down and touch the bottom. This left the first, weaker impression of the triangle. Then, as the bottle was inflated, the glass shifted and made a final, stronger impression of the triangle on a slightly different spot.

My first impression would be beer as well, but it could easily been soda.

I was thinking soda do to it only being the size of 6-fl. ozs. If it was beer then you would have to drink alot of these to get a good buzz...

I see a lot of Rochester marks on sodas and beers. Their mark is a triangle with an R in it.
I think you bottle might be too early for them.
I don’t know why but you see base embossing that is not as it should be more often other embossing. Mold marks could be the biggest offender. Something in the process must of made the base more prone to mistakes.

It could have been a "mini beer" for lightweights like my wife.. she could get trashed on 6 oz of beer.... maybe a mixer? Without a label, bottles like that are so awfully difficult to pin down.. I've got a dozen or so which resemble this one in size, and no answers.. []

Hello, I agree with the analysis of Kent Ohio. If the parison was closed in the mold too low the lighter mark could have been picked up. If the bottle maker lifted his parison and made the final blow in the mold the centered deeper embossed mark would be in the center. When this bottle was made they didn't have a lip or shoulder to hold the parison up off the bottom contact, so it got a double strike. It didn't make the bottle unusable.
