A nice mid-size example of this bottle and a rare bottle with the mistaken embossed BACKWARDS Z in it. Spelling errors on old embossed bottles are not commonly found and it is a category of collecting in itself. Whether it be a misspelled word, a backwards letter, or upside down embossing, it is something that you rarely see but it is also something that gives the bottle a unique designation to bottle collectors. It speaks of a different time when utilitarian items such as bottles were hand crafted by individuals, many of whom were illiterate themselves or emigrants who wrote it as they heard it. Quite a difference from today where the high tech quality controls in place of the modern machinery that replaced them mass produces things with no room for individuality or error. That\'s just one more thing that makes collecting hand blown bottles from a 150 years ago so collectible, no two are exactly alike and they all have individual personality, as this one does. Check it out!
