Hi all,
I'm a new bottle collector and am getting used to the terminology, so forgive any possible ensuing silliness! I have a bottle that is 3.75 inches tall, with lip of 27.3 mm diameter. It's aqua and round. It has two vertical seams from the base to about a third of the way up the neck, then they stop. There is a horizontal shoulder seam and a seam around the base. The base looks to be from a cup mold. There is a valve mark on the base, which I've heard is unusual for such a small bottle. The bottle has a patent finish. Sorry I don't have a picture, I'm trying for a digital camera. From this information, can anyone tell me anything about the manufacturer or date? There is also a tiny bit of what I think is old glue residue and there is no embossing or maker's mark, so I think there was a paper label. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thank you!
