Hey fish stick,

I've been digging bottles for years, and I've tried to learn all I can about them.

Would it be on the base? Are pony's a lil' more unusual than most?

Maker's marks are frequently on the heel, sometimes in a small font. The pony is a "style" of bottle, a transition from the type called squats. They are 1875ish date wise.

You might ask the Indiana Historical Society. They've gone all social media: faceplace Indiana Historical Have a gander at the 1884 Polk's to see if he's listed: Full text of "Polk's Indiana State gazetteer and business directory"

I'd encourage you to e-mail Tod a note & photo. He will likely credit you.
