Great web-site!
I was given bottle that is somewhat challenging. Need some expert advice.
It has the following qualities:
Bluish-Teal more blue in color
There are no mode seams that are clearly visible.
The top is straight no tool marks, but is slightly out of round at the mouth.
There is a pontil mark on the bottom.
I believe the top was applied at the shoulder, but the design of the bottle with the ridges on the side is hard to determine.
There are small bubbles throughout the entire body, but they are hard to see with the ridges on the body.
The bottle was found in an attic box wrapped up.
The bottle hard some sticky dust outside that was easily cleaned with soap & water with a light plastic scouring pad.
The inside had some residue that I cleaned with hot water and rice.
There are no usage flaws, just some light imperfections from the blowing.
I was thinking it was some type of bitters or gin bottle if it were old, but maybe one from Pier One or Hobby Lobby.
Just wanted an expert opinion on if it was old, then:
How Old?
What type?
Maybe manufacturer?
Thanks so very much!
