Bottle Found at Beach

[clayton3]

Hello, this bottle was found buried in sand at a beach. It is 5.25 inches in height. It has some small air bubbles and the side seams stop about 1 inch from the top of the bottle. It has the number 1248 stamped on the bottom. Any suggestions about the bottle type, age, or value would be appreciated.

HELLO Clayton3; Neat little bottle - set it on a window sill and learn to appreciate its looks. There is a lot to learn about bottle collecting. and for starters the letters or numbers on the bottom were chiseled in reverse in the iron mold bottom plate,. and the term is "embossed" in the glass. Welcome RED Matthews

Thanks for everyone's comments. Although this bottle is sturdy, much thicker than most bottles today, I am that bottle survived so well just under the surface of the sand on a protected beach for so long intact. From the analyses Ive seen on this forum, I guess there are many bottles out there from this era still in good shape, which was a bit surprising.

I would bet that it held horseradish.
