This vintage bottle was found in the historic Confederate Gulch in Montana. It’s clear glass and doesn’t seem to have any color tinting. Standing it measures about 4 1/2” tall and about 2 1/2” across the bottom. I am not an expert, but based on my research and the other things found around it, I believe it’s from the 1860s.

I only see a couple of air bubbles in the glass. The top opening is about 1/2” in diameter and the neck is a little over an inch long to the top of the opening.

There is a mold seam up the neck, but not over the top of the opening. This bottle was not cleaned to maintain the patina. It has no visible cracks or chips. At first glance, it appears there is a crack where the neck meets the top of the bottle, but looking through a jeweler’s loop, it appears to be a bit of blobbing from when the top of the bottle was added to the neck.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom. I don’t find any markings on the bottle. There is some staining, but it appears if it were cleaned the staining is not permanent.
