I am relatively new to collecting old glass bottles. I am guessing that this bottle was made around the 1870's - 1890's. Any help with the ID and age of this bottle is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

.Jamieson.

I am going to disagree on that. It is definitely a blown bottle with an applied lip. Likely English. I'd guess more like 1900-1910.

It's not machine-made, it's definitely an applied-top flask. There's no suction scar on the base. That thing which looks like a seam running to the top of the lip is actually a reflection of something else. It looks British so those can be tough to date. They were still making applied lip bottles into the 1930s and those ones don't tend to look much different from the ones made in the 1880s.

Oh my bad, you're right. I didn't look carefully at the photos. My mistake.

Thanks for the help! I've been using this one website to identify bottles, but it gets confusing sometimes.

Probably 1910 - 1915.

Once you zoom on the lip you can clearly see that it's applied. Late blown in mold applied lip. Likely British or Empire so hard to tell if before or after 1900 as they were not nearly as quick to go straight to ABM when the machines came out. Great color. Good window piece.
