Just picked up this bottle at a yard sale! Not a collector per se but collect things OLD! This appears to be a soda bottle, 81/8" tall and 21/4" in diameter. Circle seam on smooth bottom connected to vertical seams stopping below lip. Color is very light aqua green, almost clear. Crown top and smooth base with embossed "P". Rim of base appears to be embossed with P OCT 539. The condition is near mint with one small open bubble and several "mold scars" no breaks,cracks, nicks or scratches. The inside of the neck is slightly whittled with a strange small copper ball inclusion which appears to be orignal to manufacturing. The clarity of the glass is milky with many bubbles. It is embossed with VICKSBURG BOTTLING WORKS VICKSBURG, MISS. inside a circle or oval. The bottle has a unique waxy texture to it! I will post photos tonight.
Anyone have any info or ideas as to what this is?
