owl drug co. bottle

[janette]

I have this bottle and want to list it on eBay. ABF has been so helpful I thought I'd bug some more :/. I want to be as accurate as possible when I list and was hoping for advise. The bottle has a line that is in the neck, it is within the wall if the glass? What is it? Thanks for any advise you can give.

Neck o bottle

Could be what we call a flash, which is a fancy way to say a crack... Very stable with little chance of actual glass breaking off but it may travel due to conditions like heat and cold...

Also if it is a horizontal line, it could be from the tooling used to shape the finish. The pictures don't show it. RED Matthews

Line is horizontal but not straight? I've had the bottle for 25+ years and the line has not moved? They don't make glass like they used to!

Many times with a 'flash' you see it when the bottle is held one way but not at another angle, they can be a PITA because some people sell bottles that never notice them, then a collector gets it and wonders how the seller didn't see it and mention the damage when they listed the bottle on Ebay...[]

Thanks, also it has never been cleaned so has some oxidation? Haze? How do you describe that condition? Thanks

Haze is good
