Toy Caster American Shield Centennial Bottle 1876

I dug this little bottle in a 19thc. bottle dump 15 years ago, in Bucks County PA,every bottle I pulled out was 1860's to 1890's. I was unable to identify it for 15 yrs. This mystery bottle was just solved by surf. The exact same bottle is featured in a set from the Ryan Collection.
