Old beer/soda bottle?

[downsouthdiggers]

I will first appologize for not having a pic on this post yet. I found a bottle when digging a local dump that is amber in color, has a crown top and appears to be 3 piece mold style, but it looks like it was double blown? IDK but there is 2 seams on each side, just barely offset from each other and the bottom (from what ive read) looks like a graphite pontil but instead of 2 rings it has 3 rings (really 2.5 because one ring runs off of the corner of the bottle. It also has some air bubbles so IDK anything about it, it doesnt have any label or writing or anything on it, just a blank bottle. Anyone have any guesses?

Here are some of the pics
You cant tell much in this pic (except that my desk is messy and that I'm on this site) but it has a ring around the bottom of the top (that made no sense, but u get it I hope. . .)

See the double seam? Like it slipped in the mold or something. . .it also seems like it has a ring around the bottom.

A small ring/indentation, then a bigger ring (that dissapears off of one side), then the large ring. Hopefully this doesnt stump EVERYONE, and if it DOES, then I hope I get a prize, lol.

That's not a pontil mark, this is a machine made bottle, could be a soda or beer

Hey nathan & billie,

Welcome to this place. That double seam business seems to have been a hallmark of some of the early machines. You've got a valve scar on the base. Michael Owens may have been too embarrassed to claim it.
