Don't know, but I like it. What color is it?

 

[cowseatmaize]

It looks a little case ginny to me.

 

[beendiggin]

Thought about a bitters, but now Im not sure

 

[Sand_pontil]

Its olive. The piece I have is 3" across which suggests to me that its the side panel. I was thinking the B could be the start of BITTERS or BOSTON.

Appears to be the base of a case gin. I think I have one embossed with a B just like yours.

 

[Sand_pontil]

I just googled some photos of case gin bases an I think you are correct.

 

[Oldmill]

I agree with Plumbata I believe I have one of those case gins too

 

[cowseatmaize]

I got to stop being so cryptic.[]

 

[Sand_pontil]

Well I saw you posted case gin but didn't know what you meant because I have never seen one with sunken panels. Never knew the bases looked like that.
