Case gin. Age range?

crude pontil case gin. Any info on age would be helpful. Thanks

Crudely made, indeed! The lip, for all its flaws, appears to be fairly late, 1870 or so, I think. I'm not certain that the bottle has a pontil scar -- I don't see any raw edges on the glass. Is the indentation actually the evidence of a "centering knob" in the bottom of the mold?

I am not sure, there is no mold seams on the bottle and the top of the glass is uncentered from the rest of the bottle. Their is I line of glass on one side that looks like a seam but only goes halfway down.

Looks like the apprentices first time making a gin bottle on his own ... or maybe the glass blower was drinking gin before making that one. Either way, nice bottle. Roy
