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.
