I picked up this bottle at a garage sale the other day, I know it's old, there are big jagged chunks of a blowpipe pontil in the kick-up but do any of you know of a way to gauge the age and origin of a bottle like this? Are there nuances in form I can learn?

that super thin string lip screams OLD to me
id say 1810-1830ish. I only say that because I have seen others in the style dated to that period.
I bet you got a good deal on it!
Nice find! I guess you are luckiest! [:D]

here is one from an 1811 shipwreck.
the similarity is uncanny really!

My bottle reminds me of this one a bit, not quite as cool though.
