Nice and clean the green one is. Actually all the ones you posted are.Thanks very much!
Is it the way the top is applied on the green bottle that would tell you that ? I have a somewhat similar green bottle with the same kind of top but it’s a little bit more crudely applied then the one pictured?Green one was a soda, beer or mineral/spring water. 1860-1870's. The hutch looks around 1900. It held soda.

Tooled with a lipping tool. Drippy double collared lip. Picture of the older one would be cool. Here is an 1850's example.Is it the way the top is applied on the green bottle that would tell you that ?

Yes it could have been porter or ale. Post a really clear picture of the base. Use lots of light or go outside.Was my green one an iron pontil?
There is a similar one on ebay. They are calling it a porter or ale.
I worked all weekend last and this week. Do it while we can, right? No rush on the pics. Do you know if the bottle was ever tumbled? I have seen the iron tumbled off. I like a circle of metal fused to the punt. Is that what yours looks like? Post a question and a picture and let's see what the members say.Ok, will do tonight. Working a 16 hour day today.
