Green, Newburgh Glass Co. Square bitters Type Bottle

[botlenut]

I was going through some bottles in a box at an Estate Sale yesterday, and by the height, and applied tapered lip, I was sure when I picked this up by the neck and lip, it was going to be a Pine Tree, although wavy and crude it was blank. It stands just over 9.5" tall, and has beveled corners. Nice bright olive green color. When I looked at the base I was surprised to see it was embossed. Although difficult to make out, It's embossed NEWBURGH GLASS CO. PAT. FEB 27 66. I live just a few hrs north of Newburgh, and have been collecting and dealing in bottles for awhile, but have never seen their name embossed on bottles in all my travels, other then a Flask that someone shared pics of. Does anyone know if some the Pine Tree Cordials were blown there? The flat sides are very rippled, and almost look like embossing was peened out. Possibly this was a label only Bitters. I think I read they were only in operation for about 5 yrs. Here's a couple pictures. I welcome your thoughts and input.

Tough to show the base embossing clearly, but here's the base.

A handsome bottle, Mark.

Tod has some good history @ Sodas & Beers...

"... --As Jager's Cornwall stage was leaving Newburgh on Saturday evening, Mr. Burrows, of New Windsor, and connected with the glass works of that place attempted to enter the stage to ride home. The driver seeing he was intoxicated, requested him to foot it, as the stage was full of ladies, and his orders were to let no intoxicated persons ride.
Burrows started for home on foot, and, as the stage was delayed, arrived at New Windsor about the same time as Burrows. When the driver got off to walk up the hill, Burrows struck him in the face and knocked him down, and as he got up he was knocked down a second time. The ladies in the stage were very much frightened, and the mail was delayed for some time. Burrows, sober, wants to compromise.
