While meandering across the open range in S.W. Montana one weekend I encountered this bottle lying on the ground. If the date truly reflects the time period of its use, then it would have been dropped after the mountain men had wiped out the beaver and before the gold rush of the 1860's. This vessel is small, only 2 and 5/16's " tall by 1" in diameter. There are no chips or breaks. The label and cork stopper are missing of course. I find it amazing that it survived with out being stepped on by an animal. Mention of the text on the bottom is made in a national park service archealogy site. Does any one have any info regarding Franklin Products.
