Is there any way to properly date these bottles? Is there an age difference in the 4 log and 6 log versions? Thanks for any info.

Isnt that what bees do to flowers? []
Crudeness doesnt always indicate an earlier version (but it usually does).
Even being pontil marked doesnt guarantee one example is older than another smooth based version.

Just a note.
The Bertand set out from St Louis on March 18, 1865. Over 100 Drakes were recovered and they were the six log type. So 6 log were around before that time.
