So dark...

[nammlif]

OK...Hopefully my last question about this bushel of bottles...What light does pass thru shows a really dark olive amber...no embossing, none...and no visible vertical or horizontal seams, none...please give me something to go on, I don't even know where to start on this one...or, recycle bin>>..??

Looks to me like an English ale from the 1890's or so. If that's what it is, there isn't much more to say about it.

Thanks CanadianBottles...but a nagging question I have is, how no verticle seams on this bottle, it had to have been blown in a mold...or can they rub the seams out..??...I know, too many questions...Thanks again..!!

Been polished？

 

[hemihampton]

Thanks everyone...Haide..I don't think polished, to much sickness on it...Leon...I'll look up turn mold...I'll quit with the bottles for awhile...and go back to looking for lightning rods and such...Thanks again

Yes, probably a turn mold. Those English ales usually don't have seams on them. I used to see them all the time on the West Coast and I don't remember ever seeing one that had seams.
