Found this awesome piece on Long Island and need help with its origin & w date. Seems to say
PINE A…
NEW DU…
N.

Well, I tried searching all states that began with N for towns/cities that began with New DU and could only come up with New Durham, NH. Couldn't find any association with Pine A though. It's a really cool shard though. Good luck!

What a shame that one's broken! Looks like it's an extremely rare bottle, a collector posted on here a decade ago saying that his is the only example known. https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/scarce-aqua-nj-blobs.384813/ The bottle is listed on sodasandbeers.com with incorrect embossing, based on someone's misreading of the embossing in the picture http://sodasandbeers.com/SABShowBottle.aspx?Bottle=50733AA&Firm_Number=50733
The full embossing would have been: E Post Jr / Pine Apple Cider / New Durham / N.J.

Pineapple cider seems like a pretty unusual drink to have been available in 19th century New Jersey, I wonder what it was like!

I’m seeing time period on his post, unless I’m just missing it. Any guesses?

1890s-ish based on the style, give or take a decade or so.
