Hey Steve,

Happy Buy a Musical Instrument Day, it's a good thing you got that table yesterday. I haven't come down to the Historic basement in a while to bother you, but "here I is."

I've never seen your bottle before, but I'm wondering why you are considering her an "Indian Maiden?"

Style wise, looking at her dress, i'm wondering if those are not Leg-o-mutton sleeves she's sporting. What do you think?

"Early 1890s dresses consisted of a tight bodice with the skirt gathered at the waist and falling more naturally over the hips and undergarments than in previous years.
The mid 1890s introduced leg o'mutton sleeves, which grew in size each year until they disappeared in about 1906. During the same period of the mid '90s, skirts took on an A-line silhouette that was almost bell-like." From.

The bottle certainly seems to predate the Gay 90's, so consider me amongst the head scratchers...
