The link above shows my great, great grandfathers bottle. It's the only thing my father's side of the family has that has been passed down and we are trying to find out if anyone knows of any history to go along with it.

The bottle is about 400ml in size, has a cannon on one side and 13 stars with what I believe to be the union crest on the other.

Some history: His side of the family is from Midwest Wisconsin and I'm 99% his his great grandfather lived there for the majority of his life.

Any history on this would be appreciated. Did some google searches but didn't find anything matching.

Thanks!!

Is there anything embossed on the bottom of the bottle?
