This unique anomlie has already been explained. First off this mark is NOT caused by any repair nor should it be referred to as a repair. It is very easily understood if you are familar with the glassblowers operation of making a bottle.
This feature is a result of the glassblower getting the exterior surface of the expanded bulb of hot glass pinched between the two mold halves as they close. When opened quickly to release the gather of glass from its confinement the mold is closed again and the fold of thin glass is pressed against its exterior as it expands against the molds interior walls. This feature can occur anywhere on the exterior surface of a bottle. They are fun to find and just confirm that the glassblower is not perfect in his profession all the time.
Dead on the money, WBN!
