Featured Trying to Identify Antique Glass Bottle

Hello All, was wondering if someone could help me in the identification of an old wine bottle I found in an old trash site from mid-late 1800s. The bottle is a beautiful brown, almost maroon color, 11 1/2 inches tall x 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The lip has a ring approx 1/4 inch from the top. The base has no name, location or identification marks with the exception of an "L" and six knobs. Thanks for any assistance!

 

Her's some basic information as to its shape type ...

The Society for Historical Archaeology and the Bureau of Land Management (U.S.) have this website on Historic Glass Bottle Identification, which you might find helpful -

Looking at the section on Body and Seams, the part on "turn-molded" bottles may be relevant -
