This bottle is an interesting one - hope I'm right that it's pre-1900 but I could be wrong.
It is extremely dark glass. Dark olive greenish brown really, but the thing is, I can't even see through the bottle at the bottom - that's how dark it is! (see pic 4, note how you can see through the glass at the top but not the bottom)
It has the seams that indicate it is a 3-part mold, at least to this newbie who has only been looking at bottles for a week! (see pic 3)
It has an indented bottom with a small round dot in the middle. (see pic 5)
9 3/4 inches tall. I'm guessing beer but I have no idea.
The other thing that made me guess this bottle is really old is that it is incredibly heavy for its size. Heavier than all the other bottles I found, even though it is smaller. If I hold it up to a really bright flashlight, I can see that the glass at the bottom is tremendously thick.
Anyone know what sort of bottle I have here?
Thanks!
Claire
