Cool stuff. What’s the deal with “only by”? I like it.

I'm guessing to discourage copycat brands.

Here's some more detail on the Cantrell & Cochrane round-bottom ginger ale. The base shows the company's 2 cities of operation: Dublin & Belfast.

Very nice all.
The round bottle was made in a hinge mold. All right?
I don't understand well how they opened it without erasing the bottle.
Have you got an idea about the year?

I agree.

Nice finds, I like the Moxie, I don't see them here and that looks like an older one.

Guessing from the other artifacts that we're talking 1880s.

Hey, Montreal! That was a long way for a local druggist bottle to travel back in those days. I've got a different Bryson's Medical Dispensary bottle but haven't seen one like yours before.
