MEANT to say "The embossing is strong on one side of the bottle..but even so it is very hard to read.On the opposite side of the bottle and on the sides ,some letters can be made out here and there..but can't make much out of them...WEAK MOLD?JAMIE

Jamie,Yes weak mold and very pebbly? You can only make out a few letters correct.

From what I see Jamie in your picture you have the Jersey Blown Turlington. Red the circular shallow depression mark is about the size of a pencil eraser head in circumference on all of these bottles I would think a vent hole located there wouldn't make sense for one because of the size remember these are the tiny Turlington bottles and two right smack dab in the embossing?. I am leaning towards the mark as a repair because of mass production of the mold. Remember T W Dyott listed 400 dozen of these for sale at any time in 1817. All of his glass ware was being made first at the Edward Carpenter owned Olive glass works in Glassboro New Jersey then at The Gloucester glass works in Clementon and eventually at the Randall Marshall christian Stanger Union Glass works near Leesburg all in Southern New Jersey. I would assume a mold that was used this extensively would eventually crack and then rupture.

From this picture you can see the strong embossing if you look straight down the picture..even though it is strong ..it is very hard to read it.Yep pebbly all over and on the rest of the bottle can only make out a letter here and there...I bought this as a "COMFORT BOTTLE" cause of selling my other bottles and I felt it was a good buy at 25 bucks...but wasn't sure..one I hope to keep and IS $25 A GOOD DEAL?

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH STEVE FOR ALL THE INVALUABLE KNOWLEDGE!!!OTHERWISE I would not have had a clue...except it was a TURLINGTON'S and was an older version cause of the O.P.!!JAMIE

WOW!I know you love this!!GREAT!JAMIE

Also the "CIRCLE" on mine is only on one side..the side that is more weakly embossed.It always amazes me how items make it so far from home...and how fragile a bottle can be..yet makes it through all the many years!

Records are the same [not as old or fragile] I bought at a flea market a 78 record with a song on one side being "ROBIN HOOD" and the other "THE BALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT" by DICK JAMES on the ENGLISH LABEL PARLOPHONE ...this has a BEATLES connection..BRIAN EPSTEIN contacted JAMES to be the BEATLES PUBLISHER in early 1963 right before the BEATLES HIT IT BIG!!!!..This just basically feel in JAMES HANDS..The upshot of this is PUBLISHING WAS WHERE THE MOST MONEY WAS!!He got very very rich!!

The thing is ..how did an some what obscure record for the USA on an ENGLISH label end up in a flea market in a small GA.town....?

I am glad it did..LOVE MY NEW OLD BOTTLE!!JAMIE

Correct Jamie the hole is only on one side on all of mine also. Remember this bottle I posted with a similar mark in two spots. I think this is a mold repair.
