I can tell you what you already know, it's VERY unusual. I like it a LOT.

I've always felt that it's a Midwestern glasshouse. That style seems to show up there more. There's an embossed ink, something like "Gers and Melman, Cincinnati" maybe, that has a very similar neck and shoulder and that taller, narrower look. Jim G
