Another bottle out of the bunch that I found. It's a "pink" colored bottle that I believe is a pre-1900 manufactured bottle as the seam does not go through the lip. It has a pebbled band for about 1/3 of the bottle. Heavy bottom... no markings. Lots of air bubbles though!

If any can shed some light on this one, it will be much appreciated!
Thanks and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

I'm not sure what this would have been used for. Reminds me of some type of personal hygiene product container.
What you are calling "pink" is referred to as SCA or Sun Colored Amethyst. Manganese was used in glass manufacturing to clarify the glass. In sunlight the manganese reacts and turns to this lovely shade.
I believe you are correct on the age.
