Obvious old style pressed glass due to the flawed bottom that is slightly misshaped and not straight. Also, still, though made in America from the research I have found, is made in 1 Pint still as we had not converted from the English Pint Beer Bottles. One of the earliest made in America! The glass is Translucent, but see through, and the 1 Pint pressed into it is much more readable than the pictures show due to lighting. There is also no maker mark of any kind. I honestly am not sure what the earliest beer making companies were in the U.S. after gaining independence, or if it was more of a create your own, and that's why the bottle is deformed and not uniformed.
Actually, this dates to about 1900 +/- 10 years, if the seam does not go all the way up to the lip (if it does, it's after 1910). I'm not sure where you got your information, but it is incorrect.
Looks like a 3-part mold, though, which makes it a little more interesting (as 2-part molds are much more common.)
It was likely a whiskey. The base is not perfect because it was blown into the mold.
There is no pontil. The top does not look applied, and even if it was it's too perfectly formed.
Again, dates to about 1900. 1 Pint was embossed on a lot of bottles at the turn of the century and continues on till today.

So, what you have is: a circa 1900 1 pint 3-part mold whiskey in clear glass. I assure you all of what I have said is true.
