Lip and neck of G.P.R for aid in dating. Hard to see but seam stops halfway up the neck.

The great state of New England
Just a referrence but I would date that to 1880 - 1900. Depending on maker, bottle, etc. But I have found that the closer to the shoulder than the lip that the seam ends is 1870's. If the seam almost touches the lip then about 1900. I could be wrong. Just a thought. Nice bottle.

Are you sure? Neither google nor eBay showed anything with that name.

HUNTER...if BOB said so, you can take it to the bank. he knows his Baltimore bottles as well as I know my Bristol bottles.[:D]

I knew in the back of my mind that it was Gump's & from Baltimore...but couldn't drag my brain away from Gumps' Gin, another Baltimore bottle/product....[&:]
