I have a similar one mine is stamped and has a paper label. Mine is a gin bottle and dated 1897. The design of both bottles is exact. Hope this helps a little!

Good call. Defiantly gin, and more than likely Dutch made in the 1880s to early 1900s

Just saying, but most of the one's of that era 1880's - '90's, are square case gin bottles (and dark green glass), that I've seen.

I dunno, but Harry will show up in a while, I'm sure.

Still, beautiful Jim! (and I think that it's maybe older than that).

Nassau Selter bottles carried an impressed seal with SELTERS (downward arch)/NASSAU (upward arch) around a German eagle that contains the initials, F. R., on a shield on his chest. Nassau Selter was exported to England by at least the early 19th century and may have arrived in the US as early as 1846. Sales of German selters may have continued until the beginning of World War I, although Houck & Dieter ceased carrying the brand in 1895 (Schulz et al 1980:116-117). Munsey (1971:135) states that Nassau is in the province of Hesse. He dates such bottles as "c. 1880-1900" (Munsey 1971:139). Wilson (1981:32) describes Nassau "SEKTERS" as "salt-glazed, wheel-thrown stoneware with a ringed neck and a ring-lip neck finish." His dates are the general dates for Fort Laramie bottles: 1860-1890. Blee (1986:205-208) depicts an example found in Alaska and notes that "mineral water was a popular cure-all of the nineteenth century well known to Russian physicians."
