On the sholder the bottle is embossed as follows:

On the heel there is a big bold REGISTERED and a very small 84C or 84G.

And on the bottom is an R in a triangle.

Clicquot Club Ale—pronounced “Klee-ko”—has a fizzy legacy that dates back to the 1880s in Millis, Massachusetts. It all began when Charles LaCroix, of the LaCroix Fruit Farm, teamed up with Henry Millis to bottle sparkling cider under the name “Clicquot,” inspired by the French champagne Veuve Clicquot.

By the late 1880s, the company shifted focus from cider to ginger ale, which became its signature product. Henry Millis was a stickler for quality, using premium Jamaican ginger and Cuban cane sugar, which gave Clicquot Club Ginger Ale its standout flavor. The brand quickly gained popularity across New England and beyond.

In the early 20th century, under new ownership by Horace and H. Earle Kimball, Clicquot Club exploded in popularity thanks to savvy marketing. They introduced “Kleek-O the Eskimo Boy” as a mascot, lit up Times Square with a massive animated sign, and even sponsored a radio show called The Clicquot Club Eskimos.

At its peak, the company was one of the largest ginger ale producers in the world, with a factory so big it had its own train station. But by the 1960s, changing tastes and competition took their toll. Clicquot Club was sold to Cott Beverage Corporation in 1969 and eventually dissolved in 1980.

I also found one with an embossed Eskimo boy.  Maybe a can find that one and add it to this post.

The R in a triangle maker's mark indicates the F. E. Reed Glass Co.

As stated above Cliquot Club was inspired by a champagne.

For information about that, here is a link.

Brown Bottle With Embossed Wheat and Spider and Web.

This is a whiskey bottle I think might be from the Frankfort (KY) Distillery


This bottle is extensively embossed with a spider web, fly and wheat.

From what I've found, it appears to be a Prohibition era medicinal whiskey bottle. Six distilleries were authorized during the prohibition to make medicinal alcohol. “Spiritus Frumenti” is Latin for “Spirit of the Grain,” which was a generic name for medicinal whiskey during the Prohibition. Spiritus Frumenti was produced by the George T. Stagg Distillery and some other distilleries throughout the 1920s creating many iterations of Spiritus Frumenti.

At first, I thought the diamond on the bottom of the bottle indicated the Diamond Glass Co., but there are some other possibilities.

Diamond Makers Mark on Bottom.

Diamond.pdf (sha.org) provides the following information and much more.

In 1904, the plant made “prescription, liquor and proprietary ware and milk jars” with the same equipment...

Although the Diamond Glass Co. of Royersford, Pennsylvania, was long-lived (1886 1990), its market area seems to have been mostly restricted to eastern Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. Its main manufacturer’s mark was a diamond embossed on bottle bases with some variation...

I found the picture (below) of a similar bottle with a different top and the label still attached.

Below is a closeup of that label.

If you can provide any additional detail, please do.

The bottle is embossed MARQUE DEPOSEE high on the shoulder.

It has a high kickup, which you can see therough the glass.

Marque deposee means registered trademark.

It isn't a very old bottle.  Obviously, machine made, but no glass maker's mark.

I haven't done much research but would take it to be mid-1900s, probably no earlier than 1937.

If you can correct that please do.

The liquor has a very old (1500s) and interesting history even though this particular bottle isn't very old.
