I found this glass bottle on my farm in north Texas yesterday. It was found near the location where a farmhouse, torn down years ago, used to sit. The farming community dates back to ~1840.
The bottle is about 3 inches tall with a pattern embedded in the glass that looks like the number 9. Another embedded mark with no identifiable shape is on and near the neck of the bottle.
The glass is clear with an opalescent cast on the surface (mostly faded). There is also a wavy texture on the glass surface.
The mold seams stop halfway up the neck of the bottle.
There are no other markings or embossings.
Can anyone tell me anything about this bottle? Age? What it was used for? Rarity? I'm curious.
