this bottle was found under the ground during some constrution in niagara on the lake along with a blue bromo-seltzer bottle and a 1937 chevy master hub cap the bottle is approx 28cm tall with what looks like mold seams down both sides of the bottle the seam lines continue across the bottom but stop where it looks like there is a 540 stamp but there are no pin marks to suggest it was made by machine. the bottle has kind of a curve to the neck and the lip has many horizontal lines to suggest maybe a shapping tool was used .the bottle was also found with the original cork still in it and very little of whatever liquid it was made to hold sits in the bottom. there is also a horizontal line around the bottom also looks like a mold crease .the bottle is a olive green in colour.
