Unknown Bottle





Here's an odd one.  Does anyone have any information on this bottle ??  It came out of an early 1870s privy in California and something about the style of embossing and the quality of glass tells me there is a chance it could be a western blown product.

    Those "N's" and "S's" look mighty familiar.

    They sure do. Look at your western jakes to find that lettering.

    I could find no reference for a Macoun in any 1870s and 80s SF Directories.

    So far nobody in the UK, East, or Canada has seen it before. Wherever it may be from, it's rare !
