Uknown Bottle of the Month--What is it?

This month we have a bottle that is very curious.   Since we aren’t familiar with the bottle and our what is it column doesn’t seem to be working, we thought we’d combine the two and see if any of our learned audience can tell us if they’ve seen another or can solve the mystery as to what the initials mean. . It's a beautiful olive yellow bottle about 9 1/2" tall.  It is fairly old as it has an applied top and is loaded with bubbles and overall crudity.  The part that we can’t seem to figure out are the initials or monogram on the front shoulder.  Just looking at it, it appears to be two letter A’s, with a D below all placed in front of a triangle.  The base has a simple dot in the middle.  The monogram measures a little over an inch and half wide and about an inch high.  If you’ve seen a similar bottle or have an idea what the letters mean, just email us at info@americanbottle.com.  It’s believed the bottle was found in the west so it might possibly have been blown here.  Not too unlike the AT& Co., we know it probably isn’t associated with Asher Taylor, but then again maybe it is.  Just let us know what you think and we’ll publish your answers on the page.  Thank you for checking it out.
