A. Miller


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Augustus Miller, Q north cor 21st west (1865)
  August Muller, 71 21st west (1866)

Notes:
 I'm thinking that "Augustus Miller" and "August Muller" are the same guy. The 1866 directory lists him as both a bottler and a brewer, so I guess he made beer.
The 1860/1870 census lists an August Miller as being born c.1814 in Germany, but it lists his occupation as a gardener, so I'm not sure if it's the same guy.

The "U" has 2 dots above it.
This bottle does not have any indication what city it was from, but it's possible that it's a Washington DC bottle from the same guy as the glass bottle above.
