Here is a interesting bottle I traded for about 10 years ago.
It has a pontil mark on the bottom.
The bottom says BUCKSHUTEM, N.L.(backwards J)
One side of the bottle says:
DOCTOR TRAVIS
HERB BITTERS
WATER OF LIFE
The other side is embossed with:
GUARANTEED
TO CURE GOUT
CONSUMPTION
DYSENTERY, ANKYLOSIS
I searched on the Internet for Buckshutem and found several references to Buckshutem, N.J.
It looks like to me they embossed the J backwards!

Here is a closeup of the backwards J on the bottom.
Can also see the pontil mark better.
