Looks like the monogram for E. S. Burnham, whose product was Beef Wine and Iron, probably late 1890's

Just an earlier variation of the E J Burke bottles...you know - the olive green ones with a cat embossed on the base...Supposedly a bitters...or ginger beer...
Value is less than $10 [&:]

Here's a picture of the well known Burnham's I was referring to. As you can see, the monogram is identical.

I used to dig in this one area that produced a lot of fragments of these, so it seemed really familiar. I checked in Baldwin's book and there it was. Maybe Gunth knows more about the history and product line. I think Whiskeyman is right about value.

It was one of many liquid food tonics made at the end of the 19th century.
Used to feed the sick and feeble.
