I did a quick review of the 1880 and 1900 US Federal Census (1890 records for NH have been lost). The 1880 Census lists a John R. Champlin (abt. 51 years old) living in Laconia, NH with his wife, a son, and daughter-in-law. His profession: "Keeps Saloon". In 1900, John (b. 1828) was still in Laconia, living with a son and daughter-in-law at 38 Court St. His profession in 1900: "Bottler". My search did not reveal a John Champlin with an approximate age of 81/82 residing anywhere in the US in the 1910 census, so he probably passed away sometime after 1900. Given this information, is is reasonable that the bottle was manufactured/used in the latter two decades of the 19th century.
