Dug this bottle yesterday, only marking are on the bottom front, it has the number 75 embossed. The color is almost an iridescent brown. The seam goes all the way to the top. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So the first picture told me that it i a crown top - that tell us it is - no doubt a beer. With the mold seam going all the way to the top, tells us it ids a machine made bottle. The picture of the heal is confusing and unclear. The picture of the bottom seems to have a large ring on it, and that does not seam to be right to me. So I will see what other posts come up. If the top finish had horizontal lines and no seams then it could be a tooled crown top. The ring on the bottom could be a pontil creation - so we are sort of lost. RED Matthews

Why did it do that? Anyways, I guess you would call that an owens ring?I'd say dates around 1930-1950's, minimum value to a collector.
