its me again, i will tell the rest of the story. I was digging a dump in topsham maine one day and was not having much luck most of the stuff that i was finding were local embossed meds. which i will take anyday. i was starting to get dicouraged though,so i tried my luck about 100 feet up the dump. This particular spot was pretty muddy and i could see bricks sticking out of the mud. i started digging and almost instantly started finding bottles my first one was a warners safe cure not bad at all. The second was a embossed nerve tonic but it had a crack in the lip. I continued digging for a few more minutes and saw what looked to be a whiskey top sticking out of the mud. I dug around it and pulled it out of its resting place and found it to be a yellow citron dyotteville glassworks phila. whiskey what a find! I noticed something different about the wording on the base the writing was upside down and backwards. I have never seen another like it with the embossing being upside down and backwards. There must not be to many of these kicking around. i have enclosed another picture of the base thanks for looking.
