Found this bottle in my backyard 20 years ago when we built our home in NJ, no label Bromo seltzer Emerson drug co Baltimore Maryland is raised glass and looks hand made the round neck isn’t exactly even maybe had a cork and on the very bottom there is a letter I or number 1 looks more like the letter. Anyone know what year this might be from? Tyia!
