I got the photo up for y'all to look at, so Id love to know what info comes up on it.

Is it a crown top or blob top or? LEON.

Pictures should also include the entire profile, close up of embossing, just the top with side seam and a close up of the entire base. Typically beer bottles have more value to a collector of bottles from that locale but some who collect beers in general may have a good handle on it. Sounds like we might find out if you can post those additional pictures. Jim

Its a crown top bottle.

 

[CreekWalker]

I'm assuming a crown top beer, circa 1893-1915. Value for amber, $15-45, some size are rarer than others.

Also I just got a picture of the embossing. The seam didn't go all the way to the top of the bottle, bur rather just below the top.
