William Bosse Spruce Beer

[NYCFlasks]

A good friend of mine and fellow bottle buff (he is big on milks), who is not online, picked up a stoneware bottle recently. While I have not seen it yet, he asked me to ask around for information on it.
He describes it as dark brown, and stamped (debossed) with "William Bosse/Spruce Beer" there is no town or city given.
So, what is the scoop on this?
Thanks!

William Bosse was a bottler from Washington, DC. I think he was in business around 1860. I remember bottles with his name on them selling for around $150. There are not many stoneware bottles from any bottler that are stamped "Spruce beer", that should help the value. Most of his bottle's were stamped "Mead". If there is no damage on the Spruce Beer, it could bring over $150. stonebottle

I want to thank you for the help, while I had seen the bottle on Tods site, there are always others who know even more.
