Ok so I'm new to this and I love that the bottle posts have been active lately.
I was thinking it would be nice to have a thread where we can either 1) share pictures of bottles that we have with different techniques or ask opinions on ones we have.
I will admit that I'm still confused by some of the different molding etc. This was especially apparent today when I was finishing going through the bottles I just purchased and realized that bottles I was going to put in the junk boxes for selling were actually older/different than I thought. Now I realize, I probably have to scan through all of the boxes I already put aside.
Here are 3 bottles that I purchased as part of the recent lot. Trying to confirm manufacturing and approximate date range. I was looking online to try and help.
1. what type of manufacturing is this? The bottle is the one on the right (black glass I think) and the bottom has what appears to be a small nipple on it.
2. This bottle appears to have a pontil mark - and no seams so I'm guessing it truely is a blown bottle
3. I thought this was just an applied top but then turned it over and saw the open pontil mark. So I'm guessing this is a 2-seam mold bottle?
4. Is this a round mold? It is definitely not uniform as you can see on the bottom but is obviously round and pushed up some.
