The only marking is shown on picture. Any idea what the year looks like? I found it in a privy with all bottles dating from 1840- 1890 (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 5

I have seen many of their bottles, but not one like that. Every one I have seen was in block font, not a monogram. What state are you in, that will help us track it down.

There's a good history of Bartholomay, starting almost half way doen THIS PAGE, complete with lithogaph of 3 labelled bottles and some nice photos and lithos of the brewery.

(Need help finding i... - 1/17/2012 10:21:53 AM    redbeardrelics   Posts: 82 Joined: 9/29/2006 Status: offline Hello there eugysworld, your bottle is actually from the Baltimore Brewing Company, and dates somewhere between 1889 and 1899, my guess would be to roughly the 1890-1894 timeframe. These were once assumed to have possibly been a product of the Bartholomay Brewery, but that has been proved false when a single labeled example turned up confirming it was from the Baltimore Brewing Company. These bottles are interesting in that some do exist with the slug plate having been inserted upside down in error. With the BBCO monogram being almost symetrical, the upside down slug plate does not stand out easily to the naked eye as being upside down. I will take some photos of this next time I rummage through the boxes in my basement, and post them here if interested. Nice bottle, not very common, and being desirable in that it is one of the few pre-prohibition beer bottles from Baltimore blown in the large quart size. (in reply to eugysworld) Post #: 11

Usually the realized the mistake pretty quick and there are only a few bottles. _____________________________ Tod visit: www.sodasandbeers.com (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 15
