Mystery Shard

Ok all of you "shard detectives"...

 Here is about the only shard I have ever dug that I cannot identify. This piece came from a late 60s to early 70s pit and is either a square or case gin style. I found several panels but the top, or any more embossed shards were not found. There appears to be a tree of some type ( palm?), and the letters "BRINK" and a letter "E" reading a different direction... It is olive green and full of bubbles.

Any ideas?

  2. That would be: "THE OLIVE TREE / JOHN L.LINNENBRINK" case gin. Their not common by any means.

  4. I believe these are American made and come in two sizes. As far as age goes I think your right on.
