I always like the old druggist bottles ( I've yet to find an intact one with writing on it , in the wild )

, I'd imagine there was a lot of different ones used in Philadelphia a very large city

They are listed in the 1880 Philadelphia directory. That bottle probably dates from 1880-1885...that is a fairly early style of pharmacy bottle. Their full names were E. Joseph Davidson and Robert Clark, Jr. Neat bottle!

Very cool, Glasshoppers. I have 2 similar John Wyeth & Bro bottles from a sewer dig near my house.
