Not for production and not with a city on it either. There is at least one with a large X on the bottom and no city. I was there when Bill Mathews dug it up in 1973. It was a fairly deep pit with lots of local bottles but it is the only one I have ever seen that I would call real. Salesman's sample most likely. I think I know who got it after Bill died but he won't say wheathet he has it or not.

I don't know where or how this guy got that one to look amber in the pic (Paint or some other program) but the grayish hue is missing. I have seen them with amber streaks in them.
