Anybody know anything about this bottle? How old? I found it while detecting an old home site. I can take other pictures too, but I have to post later because I'm not at home.

If the seem is thin and runs through the top of the bottle, it is machine made and would be made after the 1920's. If the seam is thick and stops below the top, the top was applied on to the handblown bottle and would date earlier than the 1920's. I'm sure I'll probably be corrected on specifics but that's a simple explaination. Hope it helps.
