    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    I dug all these bottles from the mud today. Apparently someone really liked David Mayer beer 120 years ago. All the bottles were in the same area so I think it was the same person drinking them and stashing them, but they never came back to cash their deposits. Bottles include: 1. David Mayer...

    Found an interesting bottle today. It has the body style of a Hutch but looks to have been sealed with a lightning stopper. In situ: Fresh from the mud: I have this kind of Hutchinson bottle morphology going on in the display cabinet now...

    Is this J.A. Wallis blob top squat from Bangor ME spelled “I. A. Wallis common?

    I have found some info on the maker but not on this particular bottle style he made and not on what seems to be a mold error. Any input on it would be appreciated.

    John Lumb & Co. Bottle

    I found this bottle today. It is a British imported soda bottle made in Castleford Yorkshire England by John Lumb & Co. between 1870-1905. Interestingly, this bottle was made without tooling. The two piece mold seam, which is quite wide, extends completely from the bottle's base all the way to...

  7. 1895 Bolen & Byrne Soda Bottle

    1895 Bolen & Byrne Soda Bottle

    This blob top soda bottle was made for Bolen & Byrne of 423rd East 54th street NYC in 1895. It most likely contained ginger ale. B&B purported to have been the first sellers of ginger ale in the USA starting in 1857, though this claim is difficult to substantiate. They declared bankruptcy in 1903.

    Blob-Top Trifecta (May 2nd 2023)

    Went back to the 1910-capped clay pit bottle dump that I have been extensively excavating since January. It is very difficult digging but the trade off is the bottles often come out in great condition. In about two hours of digging I recovered three blob-top beer bottles, one tooled lip med, and...

    Blob Top C. V. Garrison Repair

    I found this cracked C. V. Garrison beer bottle a few days ago. I dug it out from under about 6 inches of thick mud. It didn't have its top so I kept digging in the general area until I eventually found it. The top had been separated from the neck for so long that patina/pest had formed on the...
  20. Broe & Gorman Bottle

    Broe & Gorman Bottle

    An unusual little bottle I found made for Broe and Gorman of 404-6 East 60th Street NY. It looks kind of like a Hutchinson but it isn't, it would have been sealed from the top with a porcelain lightning stopper or something similar.
