old beer bottle?, really new to this.

[RIO]

Hi!, new guy here. I have always been interested in old things since I was a kid and bottles have always held an interest for me. A couple of years ago I was at my favorite auction house and outside was numerous old bottles, I asked when they were being auctioned and she said they wont sell and they are going to the dumpster, I took them home with me and I have no idea as to what I have but I do know that this came form a collection, I have a question. One, is this a beer bottle? and two, what doe the numbers on the label mean? it was placed there by the collector I assume. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide and get used to seeing me here, I have a couple of hundred bottles in this collection.

Show pictures of the lip. Any seems going up the lip? Seems on the bottle?
The label is likely just along the lines of Auction lot number, grouping... stuff like that. Looks like an older beer bottle, but we'd need to see the lip and seems. The glass and bubble in it seem to say it is older. But, no embossing, so not much value. Stumbled along some late 1800s-early 1900s beer bottles in an antique store similar to that, different lip by appearance though. Hand-tooled lip, no embossing. Wanted way too much. $10 for the pair, or $5 for this one I bought. People like embossing.

Thank you for your reply, I don't see any seams on it except about an inch and a half below the lip looks like the top and bottom where possibly joined together, is that possible? (I am still new into the researching part of bottles). I will post up more photos tomorrow when then suns out. It has bubbles in the glass and it changes form dark brown at the bottom to light brown towards the top, I am assuming this is because the glass is thicker at the bottom than the top, at least it feels that way to me.

That looks like an English ale. People tend to like them in some places. Where I'm from there are gazillions of them lying around, people try to get rid of them by the boxload, so I'm still not used to seeing them actually sell, but in some places people will actually pay a couple buck for such bottles. Label means K&S Enterprises (or whatever) found or sold it in 1984, I would assume.

English Ale, that gives me something to look into. I have others like this but they are big, like wine bottles . Will be taking more photos today and will post them up, thank you for the reply.
