i picked this up today at the flea market... this bottle is from Schenectady, New York.
What caught my attention was that the letter N in Schenectady is backwards and so is the N in N.Y. Is this bottle Rare, or is it a common error??

I dont know if it is rare to that bottle,but the letter N is a common letter to be engraved in the mold the right way instead of backwards.

I think errors like that are not very unusual, but they do make the bottle more collectible.. I have quite a few bottles in my collection that have backwards letters, usually the letters A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W X, and Y are goofed up.. [;)]

N is a cool letter. Sure, I've seen a few that are backwards. The rare ones are upsidedown though.

As for rare or common, it may be a rare bottle but only known with this error. It depends on if I got corrected or accepted after the shipment.
