If there are no seams, it means it was spun in the mold to remove them. It's either from a wooden mold or an iron mold with paste inside to allow it to spin. Probably c. 1880-1890. Value might be $15, in my opinion.

Turn-molds will usually have twist marks in the glass of the neck, stretched bubbles, etc. that also give away their origin.

it does feel like there are some marks around the neck and the glass does have air bubbles in it can you tell from the pic of the bottom if this is a pontiled bottle I dont know what one looks like
thanks Preditor

Your picture isn't really clear enough to tell if it is pontiled or not. The light source is comming from the wrong direction. Some of the later improved pontils can be difficult to pick. From experience, with British and Australian bottles, spun molds and pontils don't really go together. Maybe American bottles are different.
