Stout Dyer & Wicks

[sscokebottles]

Can anybody tell me more about this bottle, or give a date of it's creation? At first I thought it was a bitters or a some kind of spirits, but I googled and found a previous post on here that it was some sort of sauce bottle. It's got a crude applied top, and lots of unevenness and bubbles. The post also said it was early and rare... is that true?

They're cool looking bottles from New York and sauce is right, they aren't uncommon and sell in the $20 range on Ebay....I like it...

They were at 91 Barclay St in the 1860's and there were 4 partners... John Stout, Henry Dyer Lorin Wicks & Robert Seely, Seely may be the same Seely of New York Beer fame...

Early sauces always look nice. I think yours dates from the 1870s. I've seen them pontiled before too.
