Another Albany, NY find

[ScottBSA]

I bought another George W Hoxsie bottle through that famous west coast auction site last week. I didn't know this variant existed before the auction. It dates from the 1860's. I know there are a couple bottles from this fellow that say Premium Beer and have also figured out by way of fultonhistory.com and ancestry.com that George was not a brewer of a malted barley beverage but a flavored soda water manufacturer. I have been on the look out for one of the premium beer bottles at a price I can afford but am now also looking for pottery or glass bottles with Hoxsie or GWH or something I can recognize from Kinderhook, NY. He had a shop there before moving to Albany. He sold his business in 1867 but the name Hoxsie lived on for a while. I have not as yet found a description of the flavor, but the search goes on.

Let's hope Admin deletes your first post, your third, and my post. HINT HINT, Eric. Here's a hint: Don't hit the post-button more than once unless it sees a minute pass without anything happening. Ten seconds, it still hasn't posted, you push it again-- double-posts. Clicking it several times usually makes it post several times. Submit only once, even if it seems to not do much. Have patience.

Thanks, I understand. I believe it was a glitch in the dictation app this time.
