Deepblue, thanks for responding. The bottle for now isn't going anywhere, just to many unanswered questions. Like everyone else, I enjoy finding something weird and different, and I'd like to make time to do some of my own research. Iv'e always said if there's one embossed bottle out there, there has got to be another. Somewhere there has to be something on the bottle.
AntiqueMeds, thanks for the feedback on the photos. I had my wife working on the pictures and had initially told her more than one photo could be posted.

No problem Roy. Nice find, and I'd be hanging onto it if I'd found it, too. I'd be grateful if you'd just keep me in mind if and when you do ever decide to part.

Happy digging!

This is the ink When I first looked at it i thought might be English. Can't really explain why I thought that. very thick, appears free blown, pontil looks like a crude blowpipe, originally thought it was glass tipped but I hadn't even cleaned it up.

Probably one of the earliest cone inks out there! Super crude, I really like it. I bet all those sloppy, wet privies are dry now!
