It wouldn't be so confusing if it weren't for the fact that the makers put a seam right through actual letters on the embossing. I'm not sure how they managed to do that.
Seriously, what is the point of not only adding 4 seams to the sides, but also continuing only 2 of them up the lip-- and 1 of those 2 cutting through the embossing?
The red lines in the photo above and the photo below are seams. It cuts through what looks like a vent-hole on the letter "I."
The blue shows, on the other side, the embossing. It is obviously machine-made, but the thinnest seams are the ones that reach the lip.
The two thicker seams are in the place where we usually see seams, but they make it look like a tooled crown for they stop before the lip.
The base itself is very interesting.
I think that I've seen only one other like it. ^The glass-maker went out in 1920, so it's likely a 1910s bottle. The glass-maker was Bottler's & Manufacturer's Supply Company of Long Island City, New York.
At first, I wasn't sure what country it was even from-- Yetter & Moore; Riverhead, L.I.; Centre Moriches. Certainly doesn't sound like a Long Island, new York bottle! And so I almost didn't pick it up, not only because of that but also because they wanted $10 (I knocked them way down)-- and I had almost missed the place with the sign that said "Big Sale" on one side and "Small Sale" on the other.And then when I got it home last week after driving around for an hour, I set it on the counter in front of my mom who I was talking to.A few seconds later, she swings a box at it as it goes flying toward the wall-- and I catch it. Then everything goes wrong over the ensuing days; and even today as I begin photographing it, my camera dies. :/Needless to say, it seems like something didn't want me to get answers on the construction of a common L.I. bottle? LOL.
