My hunch is that the mold seam on this bottle does not make it all the way to the very top of the lip - meaning it is not machine made.
As I mention here, one can bracket the age for this bottle between the patent date of the crown top closure (1892) and the emergence of machine made bottles (1910-20)
As for value, your bottle appears to be very good shape and has the added benefit of an embossed star over other plainer soda bottles of similar shape. Given the thousands of soda and beer bottles of this era by so many local bottlers, you may not easily find an exact match. I would probably put a wide range of 10-30, allowing for local interest. Sometimes there are collectors eager to add every mold variant to their collection for a town or region
