Looks like the seam ends just before the top.... my guess is around 1880's-1890's.
Hopefully some bottle expert will correct me if I'm wrong.

Not mid 1800's, but is about 1884-1892. If it were mid 1800's it would be whittled from the grain of wood used in the mold, and would have a pontil scar on the bottle from the blowers pipe. What does the writing on the bottom read ? These bottles are fairly common it may be a sauce bottle. These bottles were blown in molds. BIM is the abbreviation for blown in mold, the lip was applied after the bottle was blown, there appears to be a seam all the way around the lip. There may be a manufacturers mark on the bottom. Ron
