Noticed Gunther's interest in this piece and wondered if you (Matt) are aware of examples other than Greer's that eluded my search. Also be interested to hear if you or others can think of another pontiled bottle with an embossed motto...

I have never seen another one as far as I can recall.
The DR J. CHEEVER'S LIFE ROOT MUCILAGE bottles from Charlestown are also pretty rare.

As far as pontil marked bottles with "mottos".
Certainly there arent many. Dont know if these would fit the definition...
- Blodgett's Persian Balm The Great Home Luxury
- DR JOHN BULL'S KING OF PAIN ENTD ACCORDG TO-ACT OF CONGRESS NEW YORK
- ESSENCE OF PEPPER MINT BY THE KINGS PATENT
- DR SNYDER’S OL EXT OF RED CEDAR DEATH ON WORMS
- DAVIS & MILLER's American worm syrup a certain remedy for worms
