Twenty years ago when I was most actively digging bottles we used the term applied top when the bottle had a lip that was made by applying additional glass to the top of the bottle and forming it into the lip with some kind of tool. Newer bottles (1890's - 1905) would have a tooled top finish; No additional glass was added when the bottle maker hand-formed the lip with some kind of tool. I see people all over the net and on ebay referring to tooled finish 1890's -1905 bottles as bimal (Blown In Mold Applied Lip) ... What's up with this? [&:]
