Your picture didn't attach but I would GUESS that your Alligator probably refers to the African alligator because many of the Dutch gin bottles were exported to Africa. There is one that has the embossing AFRICA or AFRICAN on the panel. I once bought a collection that had over 60 case gins. Jim

All it said about it was that it's ca. 1880. That doesn't help much, but without a pic it helps to identify what you are talking about.
