The problem with embossed letters on bottles and jars is that pharmaceudical
companies could special order them from bottle making companies at any time.
They simply wrote the words on a sheet of paper and the glass bottle company
dropped plates into the mold and custom made the bottles. There are literally
thousands of possibilities and this vessel may be a specimen none of us have
ever seen before.
