bottle embosssed on base E.R.S.&S.

[Trying not to break it]

dug this one yesterday. bottle is light amber, total height 4 3/8, 1 3/4 across base,seam stops a little over a 1/4" above shoulder. there appears to be a very faint embossing below the shoulder on both sides. lip is uneven. couldn't find E.R.S.&S. listed under bottle marks. is any one know of this marking. all help is appricated. rhona

Looks like an 1890's medicine or chemical. The "E.R.S: are probably the owner of the company's initials and the "&S" probably stands for "and Sons". Hope that can help you out a bit.[]

Hi Rhona, you have more than just one left to dig![] These are two of my Teal examples I dug. I also have a wider mouth Teal variant but I haven't tumbled it yet so the pic wouldn't look to good. These are all embossed ER Squibb and I dug them from an Indian Wars Military Fort that was in operation from 1875 to 1890. Happy Diggin, Kelley
