Haven’t posted much lately. Cold weather and only mildly interesting 1900s stuff I have found. Yesterday found this Frank Linke 10oz beer bottle in the woods as if it was dropped there last week.
I’ve seen blob top versions of this online, but not a crown top.
My question is on the lip and neck. The seam stops very low on neck, and a lot of tooling marks and a notch are by the bottom of neck. What is this type of finish called. Seems like more than just a tooled lip type scenario. Is there a name for this type of treatment and what do you think is the age. Early 1900s?? Thanks in advance to the experts on this board.

Some call it hand finished crown top among other things. I think the slight notch is un intentional & just part of the crude process back then along with the twisting Whittle marks. But I'm no expert. LEON.

That makes sense thanks. You think right before or after 1900 is about right for this style bottle and finish!
