Coggins McNally 1880's soda bottle question

Coggins McNally 1880's soda bottle question

Hello ! I have finally found a bottle from my great grandfathers company after years of searching. I have a question about the lettering on the bottle. I have never seen a bottle like this with black writing ... or really any old bottle with black filled into the letters. Is this something that...
