I have a bottle that doesn't seem to have any mold lines and the top was obviously attached. It is very dark green and thick.
Any ideas?

Your bottle is most likely an ale from around 1890. I'm no expert but I believe that when there are no seams it is a turn mold. (They were turned in the mold to keep a seam from forming.)

Welcome to the forum DeeAnn[:D] That is an old ale or wine bottle, I think the bottle was spun in the mold which erased the mold seams. Does the bottom have a deep kick-up or is it flat? I think that bottle is from right around the 1900 give or take. As far as value, maybe $5 to $10, alot of them were produced and tons have been dug over the years. Hope this helps you some[:)] PD

Thanks to both of you, I did think it was probably common; but haven't seen any like it before.
Here is the bottom.
