Hi! I found this fragment with embossing. It dates 1910 circa. That's the only thing I can te

ll.

Can you make out the letter(s) between the "A" and the "O"?

 

[Patagoniandigger]

Sorry I thought it'll be clear and left the place yesterday. Believe me I'm trying hard to read that letter but it seems there's nothing on that part.

Looks like "& Co."

Yes, that's right but I'm afraid it's not so clear at the beginning A ? ORDWAY Co. Maybe there's a space after the A Al

Clean the dirt from it and photograph it with light showing through it. That might help.

Yesterday I was traveling and stopping and felt lucky when found another base like that on the way, so I picked this one and followed the Glasshopper's

advice.
It is A. P. ORDWAY & CO. Al

 

[Patagoniandigger]

The base is 3 3/4" × approx 1 1/2"

I believe that is the base to a Kaufmann's Bitters bottle...these were just embossed on the base A.P. Ordway & Co. and had a wrap-around label. They were out of New York City and are quite common.
