    Ginger Beer Bottle?

    I don't see two lines dug through the bottom. I tried shining a light in the bottle unfortunately I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Couldn't see that well either. Thank you to everyone who has helped with identifying this bottle. I wonder how the bottle got from Baltimore to the Potomac River...

    10.5" tall 4" wide Green glass rectangle container?

    No need to be sorry coweatmaize, I enjoyed the conversation and the information and history on this item. I tried searching online but had no idea where to start. It's hard to find information on an item if you don't know its name. The "X" is definitely an "X". Plumbata, I'm guessing we don't...

    Ginger Beer Bottle?

    Thanks surefaceone for the history. I live near Baltimore so I'm sure that this is the guy. What does it mean that Butschky is listed with 12 barrels of lager beer? Would he have filled the bottles himself from a barrel and then sold the beer?

    Ginger Beer Bottle?
