Just pulled this black (VERY BLACK) glass bottle from a pit in Philly. Reads "Breslin Bischoff & Co" on one panel and "Geneva" on the other. A quick search online for these guys showed that Udolpho Wolfe was apparently importing a "Dew of the Alps" cordial made by Breslin Bischoff & Co. These ads start in 1866 and seem to run through the 1870s. The base on this bottle is strange, as it's sort of a stepped smooth base (though tough to photo). Does anyone know anything about these bottles? Is it one of these "Dew of the Alps" cordials? Is it actually an imported European bottle as advertised or was it an American-made product? I've attached the first 3 photos here, more to follow below. Thanks for the help!
