Newly cleaned bottles! Here's #2

[Scotiaspinner]

Bottle #2 today is just about 12 inches tall. No side seams.
The only notable thing is the top part of the bottle, which is totally messy in its application! The glass looks kind of wrinkled and there is sort of goopy glass where the top appears to have been applied to the rest of the bottle. Not a pretty job! See pic #2.
The bottom is unremarkable but it does have bubbles, see pic #3.
I suppose this one might be the hardest to "diagnose" as to year, content, etc.

1880's labeled whiskey is my uninformed opinion....Jim

1880s?! Wow! That's old! What gives you that impression? Being a newbie to bottles, I'm just curious to learn what characteristics you are seeing that tell you how old it is. I'm fascinated by these bottles I am finding in the barn!

the lip makes me think it, I may very well be wrong though...

It looks like a three piece mold. You say no side seams but I think from the pic there are, they just start at the shoulder. SEE HERE about half way down.
I may be wrong but feel free the review the site. It's full of great info.

There is definitely a sort of a gentle ridge, just where the shoulders start, but it is a horizontal ridge, around the bottle. It's not like the distinct seams that I saw on some of the other bottles that had a hard edge to them. There are no vertical ridges or lines. I should have said there was the ridge at the shoulders. I think you are right that it is a 3 part bottle, but I am thinking (not that I know a darned thing!!!) that the shoulder/neck part is actually maybe blown, because the glass in the neck has small bubbles that swirl in a lower right to upper left pattern, the neck is not symmetrical, and if you look through the neck glass into the light, you can see these really faint spiraling marks that I can't seem to get visible in any photos. Hard to describe, but they follow the swirl pattern of the bubbles. I took a couple more pics of the neck in the light to try to show what I mean although it's not really distinct. Sorry about that.

I really like that site, it is packed full of information!!

That might be a turn mold, and it might be British, and it might be 1880-1910.. and I might be right.. []

I thought about that but turning was a step to clean the appearance. Slopping a lip on is a sign of get them out quick.

 

[cyberdigger]

I thought about that and then I thought maybe it's more difficult to apply a lip to a turn-molded bottle.. and then I thought about something else..

Oh, and probably Scottish 1900-1920. The other you had was described perfectly as a 3PM and very probably the same time frame.
