Here's a wine bottle i found while diving. i'm a little confused on the age. the bottle has no seems, and the base is pushed up into the bottle

These are common Hock wine bottles and have very little value to an antique bottle collectors, even though they are a nice old bottle.

Hey Woody, do you have a date for this bottle?

The reason they have no mold lines is the glass is turned in the mold to erase the mold seams.
I'd say 1880-1900 for the date.

Thank you. that explains alot. It just looks old and neat.I appreciate all the comments on this and all the threads. after a busy day at work, i find myself running home relaxing with a cup of coffee and reading the forum. it helps me unwind, from hours of chasing bad guys![]

Turn Molds

I have tons of turn molds, they're usually cheap to buy. They also come in lots of neat colors, so it's cheap & easy to get a neat window display going. Easiest way for me to ID them is usually to look for the twist marks in the neck, as well as the lack of mold lines.
