<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Kiehl, post: 4314420, member: 7353&quot;]Seams along both sides are a big indicator of age. If you look at the top of the bottle has seam lines it is relatively modern. Is the bottle round or symmetrical or is it uneven? ( stick your finger in the opening, place the bottom up so the bottle is vertical, and spin it.) Look closely at the outside of the bottle, is it smooth like today&#039;s bottles or is it lumpy or wavey, you can use your sense of touch as well.</p><p>The next indicator is the bottom of the bottle Look for a pontil. Well here is a site that explains it better than I can without pictures.</p><p><a href="https://sha.org/bottle/glossary.htm#Pontil%20Mark" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sha.org/bottle/glossary.htm#Pontil%20Mark" rel="nofollow">https://sha.org/bottle/glossary.htm#Pontil Mark</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
