Hey Steve, If the top is tooled it could be an early crown, if not after 1910 for sure.

hey when did the slug plate go out of fashion??im guessing that bottle would have had a lightinging stopper, looks bim to me< nice find mike

Slug plates were used up to the early 40's especially on milk bottles. I don't think the used lightning stoppers with crown tops.

Many different stoppers were used with crown top bottles including the lightning stopper. This is the Charles de Quillfeldt lighting stopper on a semi abm bottle.

"Registered" embossed around the shoulders usually indicates pre-1910...
Shows up on the BIM crowntops from here.
One company here that used "Registered" and slug plates and BIM crowns wasn't established until 1907.

Hey Mike, Seems like what ever a manufacturer was use to is what they stayed with. Hutches were in use until 1924 around here and lightning stoppers until the teens.
