Green bottle with large 6 on base

[pooroldcancollector]

Hi there,

New to the forum. I am always finding old bottles in the woods and I usually take every single one of them home. I think this one is pretty cool looking and I've been wondering what it was used for. I can't find any information on this bottle, just wondering if anyone recognizes the 6 symbol on the base or if anyone knows what it was used for?

Hello, the 6 or maybe 9 also, is likely just a mold number and pretty useless when it comes to proper identification. It looks to me like a wine bottle but hock and beer sometimes looked about the same. The base is interesting, it looks older but I'd still go with late 19th-early 20th century. I think some close-ups of the mouth might help, I can't make out if that's a crown, Goldy, weird cork or what kind of closure.

Judging from the hand in the pic, the bottle may be a 24 oz. beer bottle. Probably an applied crown lip with a mold number on the bottom.

Here are two examples (molds #4 and #16) I collected years ago:

it looks like a beer or soda water from the 1920s , most likely from England.
