I went out to a local ghost town the other day and found a lot of bottles. This particular one has only 2 markings on the bottom, besides the 3 seams......I've attached some picks but they are hard to make out. When looking at the bottom, the 12 O'clock position is a 'B' and at the 6 O'clock position is an 'I' or number 1. Looks like it was probably some type of alcohol, but then, I have very little knowledge on these things. lol

Any help would be appreciated!

It looks to be a civil war era beer bottle awesome find!
 

Black glass ale bottle with three piece mold, could be a export beer from the 1880s.
 

I like that black glass. I think I may have a few. Thanks for posting these.
