I dug bottles in Louisville ky for years. I've got some bottles I'm curious about

Welcome aboard Smattingly77 .The one with a pontil mark is a blank medicine from around the Civil War Era. The dark brown to black bottle is the one I'm most curious about. I've never seen that design of a bottle. I'm thinking it's an older whiskey bottle. I researched the clear medicine. It's an old flat base medicine druggist bottle from around the 1860s 70s. The master ink is from Europe. Old. One auctioned off a gold ship recovery treasure for 1,500 bucks or so. I've got more bottles I've dug than I can count. Pre civil war to early 1900s stuff. Fun to research them. I'm really looking forward to finding out what the circular embossed base bottom on that dark bottle is. I might have it cleaned to reveal more
I'm new on here but I think you have to click a link for that pict at the beginning of my postWelcome aboard Smattingly77 .
The black glass bottle is one I've never seen before either.
I don't see the master ink, am I just missing it? Roy
