This is why I keep my eyes alert for glass in modern trash piles. This turned up curbside.
Script embossed: Tony Kayser / 1105 Locust St. / Philadelphia
Kayser's name appears as a "liquor dealer" in various documents from the 1910s.
I'm guessing this is from that period.

Hey, Relic, I have one exactly like that. Bought at an antique fair about 10 years ago. Always liked the diagonal script lettering, quite stylish. Here's mine:

Hey Glasshopper, yours is a beauty! Do you know when this script embossing was most popular? I have a few bottles (different brands) that have it, and I'd like to narrow the date range.

Someone may want to add to this, but most likely the same age range as your regular slugplate designs, 1890s-early 1900s era. It's just a different more elegant design that wasn't used very much. I love these "different" styles of embossing.
