Went kayaking to some farm dumps this week and found some decent finds. Found a tooled crown indiana brewing association Marion indiana bottle, owens glass gravy or sauce pouring dish. The first jar with no embossing looks like it was turn mold no visible seams or vent marks. Is that common to see jars like that?

Nice find on the Marion beer for sure, I love the embossing on it! As for the jar, I have never seen a turn mold jar with screw threads, as I believe the process for manufacturing a bottle in that way would make the asymmetrical threading impossible to create. I think I spy some V-shaped bubbles in the glass in the second pic, which is indicative of earlier machine made bottles (unless those are dings, I can't quite tell). Sometimes seamlines are very, very faint and hard to see, practically invisible, but if the lip on your jar is smooth to the touch and not ground down, it's definitely machine made.

The top is not ground and those bubbles do seem to be small somewhat v shaped bubbles. Seam lines are invisible as well as any on the base as well.
