Found this in a marsh along the shore of Lake Saint Clair just north of Detroit. From what I have read here I suspect early 1900's to 1920. First time I have seen one with these imperfections. The two halves of the bottle are not perfectly aligned the seam is lower on one side. each side has a small dimple just below the neck. one side has a pronounced defect. the top is seamless and not perfectly round. the bottom has the number "20" with 2 dimples on it. Any one have any information that will help me more precisely date this!

    It might even be a bit earlier than you think. Just because it is clear does not mean it is 20th century.

    Thanks. I was thinking around 1900 due to the number 20 and 2 dimples on the bottle and that the bottle has seams almost to the top.
