Albany bottle with chain links?

[amblypygi]

Can anyone tell me about the bottle on the right? It's an early smooth base with Albany and then either an infiniti symbol or two chain links like a sideways 8. They look more like chain links. Found these yesterday, the Steven Sweet's Infallible Liniment is really early.

Thanks,
Sean

Always thought those to be blacking bottles. They do come in green as well and I think some are pontiled...

Nice find!

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately I feel obligated to shut down this site as a bottle diving destination because nearby there is a sunken ship put together with these:

It has a bunch of very large brass fittings still intact and it would be a shame for those to meet up with an idiot with a crowbar

I remember hearing that the three link chain or infinity sign was a mark denoting the Albany Glassworks. Your bottle also comes embossed ADR and pontilled.

Those are really nice square hand made nails! Well worth some more time and effort. RED Matthews

It's probably the abbreviation "Co" that the mold maker kind of accidentally blurred together. That's my best guess, at least.
