A. Arnold Soda, New York

[mathdude]

Here is a flea market find, which is a rather unusual shape. Not quite a hutch or a squat. I would appreciate any information about the company, and the rarity of the bottle. It is 7 inches tall. There is some interior staining. Not sure if it was dug. No chips or cracks.

This bottle was dug up at some time or another. Fultonhistory.com might be able to help you with some information on A Arnold. It's a website of New York newspapers. I have several bottles that look like this and they are from the mid 1860's to 1880 or so. The shape of the blob and the word registered make it toward the end of that period.
