Found this in trees near a creek that runs between two of my detecting sites that have yielded coins back to the early 1900s, so could be legit. Looks like a better quality bottle than modern throwaway longnecks, and has a "35" code on bottom along with the big A logo. Any input will be welcome! SIDE NOTE: bottles found outdoors around here usually are "limed up" - ways to remove the stains are also welcome. Couldn't believe it when i was in an old dump near Indianapolis nd all the bottles i brought home came crystal clean in soapy water.
Paging Glasshopper... and other bottle guys: is this green beer bottle old?

Heineken bottle possibly.
Taller than a Heineken I think. But I do have a shelf of 1950s "deposit" beer longnecks and it's about half an inch shorter than those.

Here's a little info on bottle marks:
Not sure if yours is on the list, I could not find anything that looked similar. I'm almost certain glasshopper would know, hopefully he will chime in shortly.

As cellrdweller said, no info. on that style of "A" on the bottom, but, the presence of "stippling" (hashmarks around the bottom of a bottle) means WW2 or later. Those evidently were added for manufacturing reasons, and I've also read that they were to add "grip" so the bottle wouldn't slide easier on a flat surface. In any event, that's some kind of beer or ale and generally not of interest to collectors (yet, lol.).

Yep. Or recycle.
