After years of collecting, I was lucky enough to obtain my first local mini jug from a tiny town. Super happy about its condition too!

Stoked to have this 1875 exactly beer, this is the first bottle from the prolific Grove Brewery of Ypsilanti who went on to become one of the largest brewing companies in Michigan history. You won’t see another and this type of text on the slug plate is very rare to see on any bottle from...
No idea what this is worth but I do see there are many variations from this brewing company. This however is an early example based off the pictures examples online. No glass manufacturer but I’d guess this is probably late 1880’s early 1890’s. Any Ohio guys out there?

Scored this ultra rare crown top from the Manchester Brewing Company of Manchester, Michigan. This also exists in an aqua pint, which I know hemihampton has.

Yesterday my buddy James and I got permission to hit a 100+ year old barn. The owners were trying to rid themselves of everything in the barn so they could restore it and had no personal attachment to anything so they said take whatever you want. We climbed upstairs and to our surprise, there...
Usually these are square pyro, but the round pyro is somewhat of a unicorn when it comes to milks from this dairy. Comes in all three standard sizes but I’ve yet to find a pint or half pint.

Real nice 1890’s Drs Jones & Clark from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tiny 1oz size in a magnificent color. Certainly a tough drug store bottle from Michigan!

Completed the tough Harpst set from Ann Arbor this weekend as well. Very nice bottles as they’re all different colors. The aqua blob in the middle is definitely the rarest of the three, with hutch as a close second and the hay blob in third for scarcity. Added bonus is that they’re all mint or...
Completed my hunt for all the variants of this very rare Michigan saloon bottle from Ann Arbor and boy are they both looking good. Each attic mint and as scarce as they come. The quart is especially tough compared to the pint, which is still almost impossible to find.

Amazing and rare Ypsilanti Mineral Springs blob top quart, most likely manufactured by the T.C. Owen company. Awesome condition as well!

Probably one of the better Michigan med bottles just due to color and scarcity. This is known as the cracked neck example. G. Claude Drake was a successful investor and American businessman who ran and operated several drug stores in Ann Arbor, the Quarry being his most famous. He also ran the...
Just picked up these two extremely rare Ann Arbor bottles in absolutely mint condition. Unknown soda works with zero information about them. Enjoy!

Stumbled across this at an antiques store and couldn’t pass it up. Anyone know anything about this bottle? It’s got nice bubbles but no town or glass manufacturer so it’s quite an enigma. Searching online for dandelion gin directed me to tons of new dandelion beverages and nothing nearly as old...
Scored this preserved, perfect condition Manchester brewing company from Manchester, Michigan yesterday. Amazing how it has no case ware and the original wire stopper with zero rust. A fine bottle to add to the shelf!

Took a walk around a construction site in town and found this Stevens Point bottle. If I had to guess I’d say 1920’s? You can’t tell in this pic, but this is on top of a thirty foot tall pile of dirt. Still need to clean it up properly, I’ll do it tonight at some point.

Can’t find anything about this brewery. Only thing I can find is the current maumee brewing company and it has no relation to this original. Any toledo bottle guys out there know anything?

Everyone keeps telling me I dug a unicorn, and I truly haven’t seen one before I dug this a week ago. It’s a beautiful aqua blob and it’s slick slick, with not even a glass maker embossed on it. I’ve had over five people tell me they’ve never seen one and a bromo collector told me these are...
