Boston bottle with backwards ‘s’

[waiting for codd]

Hi all.
I recently bought this bottle very cheaply and when i looked at it I realised It has backwards letters.
Does anyone know anything about this bottle?

every S is backwards but all other letters are the correct way up.
The base is not Pontiled

Hey There Codd Waiter,

I have a few Hartshorn bots. None like yours. Hartshorn made a bunch of different bottles for their many products. All are kind of common. (Although I was still surprised to see all the Ss were backwards, not just one or two, on the one you picked up.) News to me. --I think somebody with a vision problem turned out that mold as he anxiously stared at the company clock for his shift to be up at 7(Why 7? Ask a clock guy.). Question is how many bottles made it to customers before the mistake was caught? It may not be fancy but I think you have a good one there. Congrats.

The little backwards S Hartshorns are pretty common; I have both this version and the correct version that I dug as a kid. They are cool bottles!

Not sure how common these misspelled ones are, but I collected this one here in Maine many years ago.

S and N where common errors. The way illiteracy and letters being backwards in the mold, mistakes were bound to happen.
