Yup, looks like an old beer bottle. It has the same basic shape of the bottles I have that I know were English. Probably a dip mold? Scott

Well Bob, I am back to you again. That bottle was not made in a dip mold. Dip molds were for the shaping of a lot of bottles where the parison was blown in the dip mold to pick up vertical ribs that could be twisted in the final blow for decoration. That finish was used on a lot of bottles where the ring held a wire twisted cork in place. RED Matthews
