stumped on a bottle again redington & co sanfrancisco

[JOliver80]

So I dug this bottle today and it kinda caught my eye as soon as it came up. Its a very nice honey amber cup mold bottle with a crudely tooled lip. I didnt notice it until I got home but it is very faintly embossed with what looks like "redington & co" then has a picture of a flower and then "SANFRANCISCO" all one word. I cannot find a shred of info on this thiing online. Also dug a beautiful teal/green colored bottle etched "made in germany" looks like a wine/champagne turn mold bottle with applied top. Any info greatly appreciated as always. Thanks

Yo JO,

Nice looking bottle. I'm not getting a sense of the embossing. Could'ya do a closeup, please?

Looks like a "toilet water" similar the Hoyt's or Colgate bottles of the same shape, color is nice...

youre not gonna see this embossing unless I can get some really good lighting going on its very faint... maybe in daylight tomorrow it will be easier to photograph

From your examples, you are in a great area that likely holds more finds. I'd work that place over really well this weekend. Maybe bring along a turkey sandwich.

Thank you soooo much epackage!!! you made quick work of that! The shape is the same as the first colgate "toilet water" but the last example you linked "very rare wester toilet water..." that is the exact way it reads on the bottle except super faint. I will try to take a picture. Thanks again

You can only see small sections in these but this is about the best i could do under lamp light. As you can see its very crude and I have to turn the bottle just right to see it but you can definitely feel it. Almost looks like it was lightly chiseled in and not embossed but im not sure.

couldnt get it to show up well so I highlighted it with a white paint marker. It is actually not embossing its super crude etching.
