Help with a bottle

[Walker1200]

I was given this bottle that was found in an old shed (among others). I'm curious about its age and anything I can learn about it. It appears to have an applied lip. I can feel the bump inside the neck. There are also some wavy lines that follow the contour of the shoulder area. I love this bottle. Thanks in advance!

A soda or beer bottle meant to have a paper label, 1880's...

Thanks for the reply! Its a very cool bottle. Would the paper label have been placed into the circle/oval area?

The oval is the part of the mold where a slug plate could be installed for a particular brand. If the soda manufacturer didn't want to pay to have his own plate made, the glass works would put in a blank plate'

Nice Blob. Embossed back warning and base mold #2.

There are still seeds stuck to the base. Privy dug. The glass looks awfully sick.
