Old Bottle

[badchihuahua]

Hi,

I was out hunting for sea glass and came upon this bottle. I have posted pictures (sorry, some are sideways). Does anyone out there know how old it is and what it used to contain? You can see the markings on the bottom which read, B II 5 X. Thank you so much for your help!

I'm going to say a modern beer or soda bottle that was thrown in a fire.

It's a machine-made bottle from about 1920-30. Maybe it contained beer or a soda of some sort. It certainly got warped to heck somehow, I think it was burnt and melted at some point. If you found it on the beach, it's possible that someone threw it in the fire at a beach party or something years ago.

Yes, I was thinking it was about from that time frame from everything I read. This used to be part of a very old dump, so maybe it was burned first and then dumped into the ocean here. I am trying to figure out the manufacturer from the marks, so I can accurately date it. Thanks!
