I got this bottle from a collector in upstate NY last week. While I definitely have some research to do on it, I believe it’s from the farm of William J. Burns (the owner of the Burns International Detective Agecy that was headquartered in Briarcliff, NY (a NYC suburb) in the early/mid-1900s). The Agency was of historic importance in many events of its’ day, including the Teapot Dome scandal and Wheatland Hop Riots.

I really like what It's associated with, teapot, riots. That's why we do this.
