I just bought a lot of old bottles (2 boxes) from a veteran collector for $100. There was some junk, but also surprises like this which made me buy the lot. I'll post a group shot tomorrow, but I couldn't wait on this one. It looks like an attic find, there was a grimy outer dirt stain that came off with a light soak. The inside should respond the same way.
It's got a super looking applied top, big pontil, and that reverse N in INK! I don't know how rare it is with the error, so please chime in if you know the rarity or value.

Great looking ink Tayler, this example with the regular facing N is on Ebay, but I'm assuming you know that...

My trusty Watt White catalog lists this one as Lot #90 and it sold for $90 with a 1/8" lip chip. It didn't have as nice a collar as yours either. Congratulations, you got your purchase price well covered with just that one piece.
