Olive-Amber Black Glass Ale - 3-Part Mold, Circa 1860-1870

This is a tall and chunky ale with applied banded taper top. It's a crude 3-part moldwith some hammering whittle and a glob of glass attached from manufacturing. The bottom sort of looks like it could be pontiled, but unclear and selling as an early smooth-based example.
