The second photo looks like a burst top, not a sheared lip.
Pretty rare on American bottles, very common on Bristish bottles.
Cant see the first one that well.

Rich, the 8 sider is probably THE most common British GLASS ink.The square, second only to the Boat,which IS the 2nd most common. Though your's is embossed,so it might be worth twice as much as a plain.(You'd be lucky to get a couple of quid over there!In the 'States,you MIGHT get $10 for the embossed square,somebody offers you 5 for the Oct. TAKE IT AND RUN!![][]
