19th Century Broe and Gorman Bottle

[UnderMiner]

Found this unusual little bottle yesterday evening, it was made for Broe and Gorman of 404 - 6 East 60th Street NY:

In situ:

After a quick rinse:

Despite looking somewhat like a Hutchinson style bottle it actually isn't, it would have sealed from the top with a porcelain lightning stopper or something similar.

If anyone knows anything about the history of the Broe and Gorman company please feel free to share, thanks and happy hunting!

I'd take that over a hutch any day. Probably a little older than one don't ya think? Can't wait to hit the water. My river is twice as deep as I'd like it to be.

Well done once again o the bottles.
Seems that the ratio of embossed vs plain glass is certainly on the embossed side.
Digging in ghost towns and R/R construction camps it was very slanted on the plain glass.

I am always amazed at what is in the muck around the city. Found some great stuff over the years on the shores of the Bronx.
