What is this bottle?

Mullaney and Hayes indianapolis indiana

1873, not 1876. I looked the company on the pre-pro.com databases. One indicator of scarcity is that the M-H Indianapolis page shows no photos of existing bottles or advertising. Pre-pro.com is a free Internet database, always open to photos or other collectibles for the thousands of wholesalers, brands or distillers.

I meant, 1973, not 1874 as the start date of the company.

Hello thank your for replying it is definitely and earlier one because it is Bimal. The makers mark on the bottom read a&dhc which according to sha.org ran from ca 1860 to 1884. So the bottle dates somewhere 1874 to 1884.
