One I found

[R D]

This bottle was found while on a detecting outing...ended up walking around an excavated site keeping my eyes peeled for bottles most of the time and this was lying next to the base of a tree that had been pushed over...came up with the roots of the tree.....anyone know anything about it...age???...says Dan Gallagher Texarkana USA
only thing I came up with...was maybe a type of soda bottle????

Found out that he (Dan Gallagher) had settled in Texarcana before 1888, and also found a bottle that looks like yours...
