Hey All,
For those of you who like to solve a mystery, I have a shard from what appears to have been a square medicine bottle dating back to the 1860's, maybe earlier. All of the stuff we are finding is pontilled and a lot of from New York.....
Anyway, a few bottle experts here on the West Coast haven't figured it out so now it's everybody else's turn.

I can make out "Aromatic" on the top line
bottom line is: ".....N Vincent BU...."

Have at it.............who doesn't like a good mystery to solve?

Thanks,
Doug

I always thought it would be fun to have a separate section called "What's this shard?" I would suck at it, but I'm sure there's quite a few on here that would be quite good at it. I've got several I could post. ~Mike

it looks like part of an 1850's pontil french perfume that is hex or octagonal... I cant remember what the one of thinking of says on it, but I have one I dug, packed away somewhere...

Sorry to hijack the original thread, but cyberdigger dude asked for it. This one's a little harder. ~Mike
