The give away on the early ones, is the clear glass will turn purple when exposed to ultraviolet light due to magnesium in the glass
I have a glass whiskey flask that I found out in the desert east of Carson City, NV that probably was made in the 1800’s during the gold rush. The neck was made separately from the bottle and the bottle body was made from 2 halves which were fused together with liquid glass and the neck was attached the same way....which makes me curious about how they made a glass bottle 2,000 years ago....
Sounds like a strap neck bottle with was correct for the late 1800’s
That’s neat. You have a nice collectable. It might be appraised at a few hundred dollars or more.

Your bottle is probably about 1865
