Just found this amazing bottle!

Wow, not often that you find a gravitating stopper on the surface! Do you know who M was? It's listed as unknown on sodasandbeers but presumably was someone local to where you found it http://www.sodasandbeers.com/SABShowBottle.aspx?Bottle=52716AA&Firm_Number=52716

I got lucky today! I'm going to do some research on this fantastic bottle! Hopefully I find out who M was!

Edit: The M stands for John Matthew's

John Matthews of the gravitating stopper? That seems odd that he'd emboss his initial on the side of the bottles he designed. Where'd you read that? Or was this a different John Matthews?

you could almost consider it a slick? nice find though. Congrats. Leon.

The bottle design was sold to John Mathews in 1864 by Albert Albertson. Maybe the M stands for Marcellus

Thanks! I definitely lucked out. I should've played the lottery!

Thanks! I believe bottles like this are very rare to find here in New York!

rare to find in any state or town, especially on the surface.
