Snuff Bottle Id please

The attached bottle seems to clearly be a molded amber American snuff bottle. It has bubbles in the glass and an applied top suggesting pre-1900. The problem I am having in identifying the bottle is the embossed bottom. It has a pair of spectacles (or pince-nez) with a chain. The chain seems to spell out Ko or Ho. Does anyone know what this logo refers to? ThanksJerry

I've never seen that one. It makes me wonder if it's an eyewash or something?

 

[JerryN]

I don't think so. Eyewash bottles are generally blue and round and this has the construction and look of a snuff bottle.

I was going the path less taken. Bon-Opto was a square and clear bottles and all the Collyrium Wyeth bottles are square but yes, cobalt. Those are the two that came to mind.

Thanks, I'll follow up on those leads

It certainly has the typical shape of a snuff bottle / jar but I have to kind of go with Eric and recommend researching some more. I've seen 100s of similar shaped bottles but never the base embossing. Also, the shuffs have a much shorter neck, actually none. Jim
