Help with bottle ID

[bbheigle0605]

Hey guys! It's me again! We have another bottle that we're having difficulty identifying. It came out of the same 1800's trash pit. "TS" and a backwards "36" is on the base. It's very difficult to see. Thank y'all so much for the past help!

No idea but that is cool...almost looks like the extra top portion could have been added as an after thought.

Nice.

I'm like chitlin, looks like a snout was added ti an existing bottle. BB, were there any glassmakers in Vicksburg at that time? Lol.

Haha! It does look like it but you can see the mold line run past that hump. Makes me wonder if it's a medicine bottle of some sort. When I poured water from it, it had a unique and almost restricted flow. Very different!

My instinct is to call the bottle a whiskey . . . looks like it might be a quart. I don't have one exactly like it, but your bottle does remind me of this one on my shelf.

how about that restricted flow neck, pretty interesting that...

That restriction is likely to be an accident in production; the mold, after all, was on the outside of the bottle. Accident or deliberate, I'm sure the constriction proved handy when pouring shots.
