    New York beer and soda

    I got these at the first of June, but haven't been able to post because I have been working at the local Boy Scout camp. Home for a break and back to work Thursday morning. The James Holmes Weiss Beer bottle has been on my want list for several years but haven't been able to get a descent one at...

    Another Hoxsie and a rare Kansas City local

    My stream of Hoxsie bottles got longer this week when the Stevens & Mandeville arrived in the mail. From my research I am aware of two that I am missing. A dark amber Hoxsie's Premium Beer and a Hennessy & Nolan with the "OXSI" logo on the back. I missed the H+N a couple of weeks ago on Ebay...

    More locals hutches

    Bought these at auction last week. Two rares and a scarce. There was another listing by the same person with three others that went for $70. I am sure it was because of the Brandon & Kirrmeyer in that lot. Rare as well, but more well known because of the beer connection. Note the "11worth"...

    another bottle in the mail today

    I got another bottle to go with my George W. Hoxsie collection. This is a Hoxsie's Premium Beer. It is either untouched or polished to beat the band. There are some fine scratches on it but the lip looks suspicious. Fleabay purchase. I have included two pictures because the color is hard to...

    Some ACLs and embossed additions to the collection

    I don't usually post here, but many of this round of purchases were sodas. The Prairie Brew is from Kansas City, KS and dates to the mid twenties. I have been searching for more info on this local bottler and my best guess so far is that is a successor company to George Grubel in KCK. The...

    New stuff

    Here are some picture of some of my 2016 gets. The Monogram Rye is more than likely Rieger's Monogram Rye Whiskey from Kansas City. After searching around on the net for other Monogram rye's and the fact that I found it in a local antique mall and the other Mongram's do not seem to have been...

    A couple of new gets

    Both of these bottles were bought over the internet. I knew there was an Oswego German Brewing Company and have seen a picture of one on Bruce Mobley's site but not in this color. It has some damage and case wear, but I don't have an example from this brewery and it has that great color. The...

    medicine bottles at the library

    A couple of months ago I took some of my local beer and soda bottles to our local genealogy library for a display. I changed them out for some of my medicine and cosmetic bottles the other day. Here's a picture of them in place. The librarian in charge of the displays had a bottle collection...

    New central New York beer bottler

    I found this one on the famous west coast auction site by looking under the word "blob" instead of my usual search methods. The words "Crystal Spring Lager" rang a bell as there was a brewery by that name in Syracuse, NY in the 1800's. A look on Google showed only this reference. I went into...

    Baltimore Loop Seal soda bottle

    No picture necessary here. Saturday I picked up a local soda of which I have a couple of different hutchinson models and a couple of different crown tops, but this one has a loop seal closure on it. Does anyone else have a loop seal soda bottle? I have several BLS bottles and almost all of...

    Gifted a pre-Civil War bottle

    I was visiting my mom in upstate New York last week, where I picked up an Ohio stoneware bottle for my Ohio collection, when I got an email from a friend of mine here in KC telling me he had some bottles he got from his grandparents as they are in the process of downsizing. Six bottles, two of...

    Bottle display at local library

    Here I am with some of my Kansas City beer, soda and whiskey bottles. They are on display at the Mid-Continent Genealogy Library in Independence, MO for a couple of months. These are all prior to 1920 and a few are from before 1880. There wasn't much of a Kansas City before 1880 so that stuff...

    Another Albany, NY find

    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...

    Here are the last 5 bottles from my Bouckville, NY trip this August. These 5 bottles brings my collection up to 27 from this soda bottling family. The five bottling brothers and their sons sold soda from Buffalo east to Little Falls, NY beginning in 1870 with Louis House in Syracuse.The George...

    Summer bottle additions

    Hi,I picked up several bottles this summer and have been otherwise occupied and finally have some time to take pictures and post a few bottles I picked up this summer. I am going to hopefully make some sense out of this thread as I go along. The first bottle is a 1906-1910 Rochester Kansas...

    Summer finds in New York state

    Hi,I don't often post in this section, but these three bottles seem to fit the bill here. I was in way upstate New York and got these Syracuse, NY sodas at three different flea markets in the area for a total of $14 for the three of them. I picked them up because I collect central NY sodas and...

    Two more Kansas City Sodas

    I found two more KC sodas in the last week. The Eppersons Carbonating Bottling Co I found about 70 miles south of KC while on a mid-day break from my job with the Boy Scouts. I have an earlier hutch from this company. This one is a machine made job with no markings. Without consulting my...

    Interstate Glass Company bottles

    I just submitted an article about the Interstate Glass Company of Kansas City, Missouri to glassbottlemarks.com describing the history of that company. It was in business for 18 months from 1901 to 1903. The mark is ISGCo. The bottles I have have it on the base. It could also be on the heel...

    Rochester Minnesota estate sale on right now BOTTLES

    I was looking at Estatesale.net and found this link. It is an actual collection. Shelved and organized. I see a cobalt soda in one picture. Mostly sodas and beers. If you are close, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. It might be worth a call to find out if someone can buy the remainders or...

    Some recent purchases and Interstate Glass Company

    I picked up a few new bottles for my Kansas City collection in the last few weeks from a variety of sources. The pictures aren't the best, but there were some interesting coincidences in the group.The Mooney flasks are only 6 ounces, and not 8 ounces. Joseph was the son of H. Mooney. Some...
