I have run into a brick wall in my attempts to find any information on this bottle. It was dug recently near Richmond from a Yankee trash pit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The pics are not the best, but the embossing reads S.N. Pike at the base of the neck. Then there is writing on the base as you can see, C. Ihmsen & Sons, Pittsburgh PA.

Hi, nice find. I think that may be one of the early "S. N. Pike's Magnolia Whiskey. Cincinnati, Ohio," bottles. The glass company (mark on base) was around back during that time.
