Need help ID'ing this one. I've had this forever but never knew much about it. Bottle is 10" in height. No mold lines up the sides, but one is seen around the bottle just below the shoulder about an inch. Color is a deep chestnut with a reddish tint. Bottom is embossed with a monogram I can't make out. I could pay to have my initials put on a sweater and still not read them right. I'm just not that good at it. An "A" over an "H" with an underscore of some sort? If anyone has an idea of what this bottle is and who made it, would be appreciated. I was thinking maybe an ale bottle, but most of those I've seen are olive or black glass. I think I can only attach 1 file photo per post so I will post another with the bottom.

I think it's the Underberg Bitters. It is a German product from Rheinberg Germany. The monogram is HUA, H.Underberg - Albrecht.

Thanks! Been toting that one around for years, never knowing what it was. Figure someone would recognize the monogram. Was hoping it was a US ale or something, but glad I now have something to work with.
