Circa 1890-1910 Cobalt Blue 3-Sided Pinch Decanter, Back Bar Bottle with Pewter-Like Fly Fisherman
This is an unusual back bar decanter with 2 of the 3 sides pinched for gripping. It comes with a big doorknob-like wooden/cork stopper that has a script "R" embossed in the wood on top. The bottle's neck and ring top are coated with what I believe is pewter. The front panel as a beautiful pewter-labeled picture of a fly fisherman netting a fish in a large river. The bottle is hefty, weighing 1 lb, 5 oz..
