Hey Levin
It is a soda type bottle that looks to have crown top. It is fairly early but my guess it that the 1892 date on there is the founding of the company not the manufacture of this bottle. It looks to be just post hutchinson. I'd say early 19 teens. I know nothing of the company (Brooklyn?) but the rarity and value will depend on it's local collect-ability. Pretty neat find if it's local for you. Congrats.

It's a Mineral Water Bottle. Because it lists a Content size I'm going to guess it dates around 1912+. LEON.

My research shows William Wehmhoefer doing business in “ mineral water”in the New York State census’ from 1877-1913
US census for 1915 shows his wife as a widow.
how do I post a picture? Anybody?
