Greetings all:

I'm trying to I.D. a medicine bottle without much luck, so could use
some help.  The bottle is 11.5 cm tall in a "hub" or Golden Gate Oval"
form (from Fike, P. 10, 2006 reprint).  Hand finished neck and applied
lip.  In the recessed panel on the bottom is embossed "O.G.R." and a "2"
beneath that.  Toulouse lists O.G.R. but calls it unknown.  His example
is from Boston.  The flat panel on my example has "Ropes" embossed in
script covering most of the surface.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
