Bought this today in DE. Bottom has a J on it and D.G.W. on it in big letters (so it could be WDG or GWD)

I saw a previous thread where this was dated to the 1870’s but that poster didn’t mention the J being on the bottom of theirs.

Nice bottle! Ive been wondering what this same mark is on the bottom of this case gin.

Looks about 1870's to me.

Is that even a J? It looks a bit like a small string of glass that cooled on the bottom to me. But I agree that 1870s sounds about right, give or take a couple years.

Could be the same mark (body & base) with the top half missed on the base (?) when blown.
