Dutch Lady's Leg

[Asterx]

Just bought a 12" red amber lady's leg. Looks like the bitters shape, don't know if they used this shape for anything else? The embossing is A.F. Boonikamp Antwerpen in a circle around a six sided star. Interesting bottle, I think it must be Dutch with the Antwerpen embossing. Decent whittle. Any idea on use, origin or value? Can't find anything on the net. Thanks! (sorry no pics yet!)

Antwerp is in Belgium.

That's a matter of opinion, isn't it? []

100% it's a bitters, late 1860's thru 1890...any pic's ?

A '' matter of opinion''?. No, it's a fact.

Old maps show New Belgium in America, yet it also was known as New Nederland. This is because Belgium and the Netherlands were at one time interchangeable terms.
