Hello everyone. A new member asking for some help with a oddball bottle. From a local estate this bottle was said to have been dug up in San Francisco many years ago. Dark green glass about 9 1/2 inches tall. No mold lines noted on the bottle and no markings at all. What makes this odd is that there is about a 1/4" steel or iron hollow tube inserted into the side of the bottle at about a 20 degree upward angle about 1/2 way up the side. The outside portion of the tube is pretty much flush with the outside surface of the bottle but it projects about 1 1/2" into the bottle. It was done very neatly. A little chipping around the hole noted. Can't tell if its caulked as it rusted around the tube where it enters the bottle. My pictures are not very clear but I can try some more if necessary. Any ideas on why this was done would be greatly appreciated. Maybe for smoking?
