2 bottles from my latest digthing

[HunterGatherer]

Any ideas on this logo? The dump appeared to be from the 60s but the bottle denies that idea.

Chess is a drinking game now? Check out this wierd bottle!

Any idea what it was for?

I'll edit this up a little better later.

Peace

It's a beer bottle, here's some info from the glass makers marks site.

That is a pre 1900 beer bottle. I have one just like it. I had thought the AB was Anhauser Busch but I think I found it was possibly American Bottle Co. I will try to find the research I did on it and get back to you. It is a common bottle not that valuable but very nice noe the same.

1900 to about 1905, American Bottle Co. the busch bottles had a simular logo on the bottom but the letter are not conected and the glass manufacture mark would be under the logo.

Thanks Joel and Warren. Do either of you have any idea on the other bottle? The reason I said it looked like chess turned into a drinking game was because the top looks like a Rook. The sides remind me of castle walls, too. Such a cool bottle, big as my forearm. Oh, there's a thread at the base of the chesspiece that makes exactly one rotation.

I yield to Caps observation c1900 and stand corrected.

With regards to the other one: Does the top of that bottle come off?

No, like I said, there's a thread at the base of the "rook" that goes around the outside just once. I'm inclined to think it had some sort of screw-on cup for a lid.

I have never seen it before but the shape of it leads me to think it is a food jar of some sort. The lip seems dipped in a couple of places. Is that for pouring or are they chips? Nice bottle by the way. I would like to see again after it is cleaned up.
