is this old or new?

[hokeypix]

Since everyone is being so darn friendly and helpful (thanks!) I'm gonnna post a few more from my yard sale findings.

This one mystifies me - I have the feeling it is a contemporary bottle, but you be the judge. It's a an amber colored square jug shape, with a pontil mark on the bottom and applied handle. The sides have a wavy design to them. Approx. 9 inches tall. This lot I bought had everything from Jagermeister bottles to oldies, so.....it could be anything!

anyone? thanks!

hello hokeypix, can you tell us how far the seam run's up the bottle and could you post a pick of the bottom, i'll bet it will generate more disscision.[]

hi - here's the bottom. I can't find a seam (!). Is that possible?

 

[maineahh62]

that is a great question, some thing old with a pontil mark and no seam, could it be, i wish i had the answer, but i am sure there are some member's who can. watch and see[]

i did copy paste this from one of the site's i refered you to.

No Seams on bottle: bottle may be hand blown, probably has a very uneven shape and is probably a pre-1860 item.

I believe this is a newer bottle from the looks of it.
The form isn't right and the pontil scar seems to look like newer, reproduction bottles.
Probably a current glass house attempt to reproduce and old bottle.
That and the fact there is no wear on the bottom of the bottle.

Made in Mexico. I saw a set just like it with the "made in Mexico" stickers. I was bummed to see the stickers.

Thanks! I suspected as much...I was pretty sure it was new...it seems too modern in design, and in too good a condition.
