odd mold painkiller

I'm always on the lookout for examples of odd molds.
Here is an early Davis Pain Killer with an odd hinge/key mold from fleabay.

highlited seam. What do you call this type of mold???

Nice pickup! I was going to bid on that one, but missed out. I have some older Davis bottles, but that mold seam is pretty wild. Definitely 1860s, maybe early 1870s.

Do the older David Veg PK bottles just have the normal diagnal hinge mold? I havent looked at any for a while.

HI, That is an neat mold parting line, sure not a common ocurence. Thanks for posting it . RED Matthews

normally they do have either a strait vertical or round key mold. The size and shape of that one is a little different too... If you ever want to let go of it let me know, I'd like to have it if it can be attributed to New London, which had some odd mold cuts in a few bottles...
