I have this bottle listed, but without details on www.sodasandbeers.com and this clears up some of the missing details. I am fairly certain the HutchBook listing was based on my incomplete listing. I got my listing from a pamphlet of the Frank Kendorski Collection.
Drzymalla was listed as early as 1890 as a bottler and as late as 1914. I would say this bottle is an 1890s vintage.
Since I have never seen this bottle in over 55 years of cataloguing Philadelphia bottles and this bottle was not in the collection of a collector of West Philadelphia bottles, I can safely say it is very rare and likely one of two known examples.
