1873 stoneware bottle - 5/19/2005 9:28:21 AM    1VDKHQ   Posts: 10 Joined: 5/18/2005 From: NW YORK Status: offline I found this bottle in Greenwood Lake which is half in New York and half in New Jersey. I have never found a stoneware bottle before. Can anyone tell me if they have ever heard of the name on the bottle. It is inprinted on the side with: ADRIAN FEHY 266 WILLIAM ST NEW YORK 1873 Attachment (1) _____________________________ DIVERBOY - If it's too deep than your too old. Post #: 1

Stoneware bottles like your type were most often used in taverns and stores before refrigeration became common. The stoneware bottles kept the contents cold and insulated. Impressed on bottle with " Adrian Feyh , 266 William Street , New York , 1873 " Feyh was a brewer , that was located at the Williams street address from 1856 - 1893.

From. "Stoneware Beer Bottle "ADRIAN FEYH 266 - 266 1/2 WM. ST. N.Y. THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD" Feyh was in Manhattan N.Y.C. from 1861 to 1870." From Worthlesspoint. Holabird had one in 2002: "901. Bottles. Adrian Feyh Stoneware Bottle. Has shape and general description of a ginger beer bottle. Brown “speckled” glaze (salt-glazed?), tapered collar top, sloping neck and defined shoulder. Name stamped on side in under graze transfer is: “Adrian Feyh, 266 William Street, New York.” Similar to #86, p 143 in Stau’s Illustrated Stone Ginger Beer Book, 1984. Clearly a pre-1900 bottle. Found at Lake City, between Columbia Hill and North Bloomfield. Souza Collection. Est. $50-100" So what have you found out about Great Grandfather Adrian, other than that he was a handsome, stout hearted guy? (in reply to tf330fan) Post #: 15

RE: 1873 stoneware bottle - 7/7/2011 11:07:30 PM    tf330fan   Posts: 8 Joined: 7/6/2011 Status: offline Among other things, he was the first of our family name to immigrate to the US from Germany when he was 16 years old in 1850. Looks like, judging by census records, he may have been married twice and I may have more relatives than I ever knew about. One of the wives I found had a maiden name of Kolb. I noticed on a list somewhere that there was a brewery in New Jersey run by Kolbs. I haven't yet been able to connect them to it yet. (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 18
