Two seams, very wavy pattern which you cant see well in photos, light blue tint.

Can anyone tell me any more info on era or what it held? I'm a rookie!

Almost looks like a early 1880's Budweiser bottle minus the paper label or any embossing? LEON.

Leon (hemihampton) certainly has more experience with beer bottles than I do; however, I have always associated that shape of bottle, neck and lip finish with liquor bottles such as originally held brandy. Regardless, I would venture its origin as near the closing decades of the 19th century turning to the 20th.

Welcome to the site!

...and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the Antique-Bottles.net members!

I'm having trouble seeing in the photos, does the seam go all the way to the top of the lip? It looks like it does from what I can see but that's an unusual form for an ABM bottle. I'd guess 1910s-20s or so in that case. Looks like the shape that I commonly see for early 20th century liquor bottles from the UK but unless you have absolutely massive hands it looks smaller than the ones I'm used to.

And like Willong says, merry Christmas everyone!

The seam goes all the way to the top of the lip. The bottle is 12 inches tall and a little under 3 inches across at the bottom.
