Hi everybody,
I’m curious if anyone knows this bottle.
It’s embossed “Manhattan” on the top/front and it has a maker’s mark on the bottom of “H B & C”, which I believe was Hagerty Bros. & Co, who ran the Hagerty Glass works in Brooklyn (which was previously Brooklyn Green Glassworks and Hamilton Glassworks before that). I’m fairly sure that’s where it was made, but I’m unsure what to call this design?
I originally thought it was a baby bottle, but I’m wondering if it could be an invalid feeder? Or were they the same thing? It was found near a quarantine hospital that was active in the mid to late 1800’s.
Any help would be very appreciated:
