I have an old bottle that I can find out nearly nothing about. It is an Owl
Drug Company AMB medicine bottle with a one winged owl sitting on a mortar and pestal. It is around 5 or 5 1/2 inches tall. Up until now I am sure most of you bottle buffs out there have been nodding and thinking that my bottle is not really that uncommon, except my Owl bottle is an error bottle. it was mistakenly marked with a G instead of an O hence Gwl. I saw one for sale on a commercial website that I can no longer locate but other than that one instance, and my own bottle, well,it is almost as though those are the only two on earth or something! Anybody
know anything? I've got good digital images if interested. Thanks DT

It most certainly is a mistake and mistakes are worth more, usually. As for value, I can not say. Nice find. Hold on to it until you find out or kick yourself mentally in the future.

That's an odd one.
Normally emossing errors are either misspelled words (like LINAMENT) or words with missing letters (like FREDRICK). Not sure how they accomplished that one.
