Wow what a great bottle Moleman! The grizzly bear has long been an American icon of strength and courage, and yet it was the great push West that ultimately sealed his fate. Common place in early California durning the 19th century the bears mistique lives on through these highly treasured bottles. Congradulations on your super find!
