As I was painting the foundation of our house yesterday, I found this piece of glass that looks to possibly be the bottom of a bottle. Our house was at one time a neighborhood store, where the family lived in one half and the other half was the store. I recall a soda called Wink when I was young, and thought maybe I'd found a section one of those bottles. But when I searched for old Wink bottles, I didn't find any with this on them, usually just numbers, etc. Plus, they were green, not clear. Maybe that's an "h" on the end??
Something my wife pointed out as strange is that the raised Wink pattern faces inward with the curve of the glass. My wife didn't understand how the manufacturer could have a mold that could put this on the inside of a bottle. So, just out of curiosity since I couldn't find anything on it myself, I decided to as this forum.
Thanks for any help on this. I appreciate any and all comments. Lee![Wink bottle 1.jpg Wink bottle 1.jpg](https://www.antique-bottles.net/data/attachments/247/247619-fbc1d2004e749ec605e522e2605728c3.jpg)
