I am guessing this might be the oldest of the 3 bottles I am posting today, but I am basing that solely on the condition of the glass, which is more etched looking than the other 2. This bottle is 11 inches tall but seems heavy for its size compared to the others.

No seams on the bottom part, but there is a distinct ridge about 6 inches up the side where the "shoulders" part of the bottle is attached, and the shoulders part has 2 seams up the sides, but they don't go to the lip. The top, including lip, is assymetrical and lumpy and not nicely applied.
As shown in the picture, the bottom has a capital B embossed on it, followed by a sort of a dot in line with the upper half of the B. Is it maybe from Buck Glass or Ball? (I used the glass factory marks site to look up the B). Look carefully at the bottom center of the 3rd picture for the B.
There are bubbles in the glass all over.
The bottom also has an indent over 3/4 inch deep.

Thanks for any thoughts or info!
Claire

Thank you! I guess I should have put this one in the "before 1900" section of the forums!
