Hey Rick, just thought I'd toss my 2 cents in ! This is on a small bottle I bought as part of a lovely old collection - thought it looked familiar :

I don't think mine are grapes though.But the shape looks close. mine looks like they are stacked up,not hanging like grapes. there is a base on mine also

I'm going with rock pile: maybe stood for a fort, redoubt, or stone wall something?

"A little more rock, Capt. Bragg"

Not grapes for sure. Perhaps something in the line of a native North or South American stone mound. Definitely not of the Egyptian pyramid revival with all straight lines. Yours is much different.

am I seeing things ? is that some ghost embossing ?

 

[tftfan]

maybe just TRADE MARK ? in that spot, looks like numbers also.

Sure looks like ghosted embossing TRADE MARK, the rock pile resembles a 'cairn', used for various purposes throughout history, if we could only figure out which purpose. [8|]

cairn

There's one of the thousands of words I didn't know. It's kind of what I meant though.

I don't suppose the privy was behind a funeral parlor, were they? Embalming fluid?

Cows, if you lived in GlenCAIRN, like me, you would know it ! LOL The people who settled this area were very Scottish, hence Glencairn, Burnbrae Rd etc ! Och Aye !!
