Need Help With bottle Identification
I found this bottle in the marsh by a creek that was being dredged in Virginia several years ago. By several I mean 40+ years. Wow time flies.
I can not seem to find any information about the glass marks on the bottom.
It is approximately 12" tall and has a blob top. I guess that's what it's called, I'm just starting to go through my collection after all those years.
The glass marks on the bottom consist of a capital A with a horizontal line above it. There are also 3 raised dots below the capital A and the number 25 below the raised dots as seen in the photo.
I would really appreciate anyone's help with this.
Thanks,
Halfempty

Thanks for posting this, sorry it took so long to reply.
Waterways, ponds and marshy areas have yielded plenty of bottles, esp. it seems in recent years. Your bottle started its life "across the pond" in England, and was probably made in the third quarter of the 19th century. It was blown in a 3-piece mold and has a rather crudely applied lip. More often one sees these liquor bottles in darker colors.
This. I found a mid 19th century vodka bottle on ebay that was the exact same shape and color as the one posted above.
