The picture I have (hard to detail)Jones, Paul Four Roses.
Amber with Heavy embosing 9 1/2" high
$9.00 to $16.00
However the book I have is 1993 and I don't trust the prices that were put on bottles, but sure this is the one.
Bottle Pricing Guide
By Hugh Cleveland (he does show a lot of bottles not found in other books)

That Pic of bottom is an early machine scar. I can 't date that diamond, hope someone else has it. I would guess like the bottle says 1914. Nice bottle

Hello, and welcome to the forum. What I have referenced of the 3 digit mark inside a diamond tells me it is Illinois Glass Co. Alton IL. (1873 - 1929) Hope this helps, Kelley
