Small 12 sided bottle?

[Boomer]

Can anyone help me identify this bottle found today in northern N.Y.. It 3 3/8 tall, mouth is 5/8 inch wide, and base is 1 1/8 at widest point. It has a bluish tint. Very thin lip around mouth

well it looks to me to be an elixir . made around late 1840s or 1850 , with that open pontil . this is a common one , but still cool .

Thanks sunrunner! I spent all of yesterday researching it and was guessing 1840-1860. The other bottles I've found here all had seems from the molds. Common or not it's by far my favorite find.

You should find this has seams, however faint they may be on it. Finding one without lip damage is a good thing also, those are often chipped away.Cool find and welcome to here.

It does have a small chip on the lip. I found it under a crawl space in my house, so its pretty well preserved.

I'd look for more, Any Pontil is a good Pontil. LEON

Thanks Leon, I'm actually looking for 1,000 dollars that was hid here. Plus the house is very big and very old so I figure I'll never know if I don't look. So far I've found a 10oz. Royal palm bottled by coca-cola in Watertown n.y. with no Sun damage, a masons improved with cross and pat Nov 23 26 67 on bottom with glass lid and Zink lid. One tall square cork bottle one tall rectangular cork bottle and one short with rounded sides plus the one seen here. So I figure it's a good time to start a collection.

How old? $1000 then in old bills or especially gold or silver coins should be worth a tidy sum bit more in the open market. []
