Any Ideas on this Bottle I found some info on sinalco sodas kinda like a fruit drink they still make, been around 100 yrs or so, This one says sinalco around the bottom (side as pictured) and AWICHITA across the bottom. I wondering about age and rarity. Gypsy,barandon(godisnum) Burdie,and I dug it at the chisolm trail hunt. Also is another pic of a Jar that apears to say HO Hienz on the bottom found in the same hole. Any info would be appreciated.
Niether jar nor bottle is screw top but the bottle is of course cap top.

Looks like your bottle was molded and has a applied lip, fairly common in the early 1900s. I found about 50 assorted bottles very much like that as a teenager under a cabin in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Have three styles of different Narrengansett beer bottles from that find. After researching the different designs I would guess that your pop bottle was made before 1910. After that they used a 3 piece mold that included the lip instead of molding the lip on as a seperate step. The picture shows how uneven the bottom of the lip is which means it was put on the bottle after it was blown in a mold. Nice find, does the bottle have any bubbles in the glass?

I think so Eddie08 (welcome to t net) your right there appears to be a seam at top around the cap part along both sides as well as around the bottom, I tried contacting sinalco but got no response. cant tell about bubbles as its a dark bottle and still kinda dirty
