Norris & what??? Ale or stoneware ginger beer

[jgas]

Hi everyone. Long time since I’ve been posting. In the middle of a huge move. But I dug this yesterday and cannot figure out what it says on the debossing. Looks like Norris & Rundd. I cannot find anything about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jgas.

Actually I think it says "Norris & Rundle". A quick search found this page about it. They apparently operated out of Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1800's. Mostly soda, mineral water, sasparilla, etc. I don't know what that particular bottle would have contained, perhaps someone else will.

Thanks Rob. You got it. I appreciate the help. The top is broke off but I can put it back together. Make it presentable at least. Seems like a fairly scarce one. I like to save a bit of its history if I can. Thanks for solving this one. Jgas
