Help please with missing blob!

tfredrich · Jun 18, 2007

I was really hoping someone out there might be able to locate a blob in a similar color and attach it to this super rare Wisconsin beer. This bottle is fairly common in amber but very rare in honey or yellow amber. This is somewhere in between. I often see bottles come up in similar shades on Ebay and even know this is a quart it has a thinner neck and I feel a larger pint bottle blob would sit nicely on the neck. It is a 2 of a kind bottle so I would love to have it cleaned and then repaired. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Tom

Here is a shot of the other bottle in this lighter color. It shows the shape and size of the blobs that adorned these Eaton quarts. They are Wisconsin Glass Company bottles and all of these quarts were blown in the same mold and have identical blobs. If someone can repair this one I am not too picky on an exact match except in color mostly as I wouldn't want it to be super noticeable colorwise. Thanks!

Hi Rick,
I plan to get the bottle out to you. Two things, first, the blob does not have to be the exact color. Anything close will suffice as it will always be a repaired piece, and will always stay in my collection and not be sold. Therefore I am OK with it just simply being fixed. Second can you ballpark a price for the cleaning and then repair so I can plan for it.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Rick!

I have a nice yellow blob beer on the way which should work perfectly for the repair. Even if the blob is slightly smaller because this is a pint bottle I am getting, that is fine. The actual Eaton quart does have a smaller blob anyway. Can I get your address to send these bottles out sometime next week? I will also include the $60.00. I really hope it tumbles up nicely and the blob looks good. I will be happy either way as at least now I can display the bottle!

Happy 4th!
