I dug this bottle a couple of years ago in the DC/Maryland area and haven’t had any luck on identifying it’s origins. No markings on the bottom just Charles Scherer embossed on the front panel. Anyone have an idea of who this guy was?!

A Chas. Scherer was a druggist in DC in 1914, with two stores in Georgetown at Wisconsin & N NW and 3500 O NW. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045433/1914-10-31/ed-1/seq-3/
A tip for researching Charleses, they would typically shorten their first name to Chas., although in your case research is made harder because another Chas Scherer is a movie producer.
