Grand Valley Brewing Co shard Mich

druggistnut · Jan 7, 2013

Nic came up with this shard on Saturday, which was previously unknown to me.
You can read the top half of MICH in the slug plate.
I asked around and it turns out to be from Ionia. A tough blob to find.
Now go get a whole one, Nic...

Bill do you know for sure that there is a blob?

I'm familiar with this Brewery & have been thru a few different bottles from them. Here's a Pic of 2 1930's paper label bottles I got from them & I'm pretty sure I had a few different Friars Ale & Beer bottles from them in the past. LEON.

Jim,
I have never seen one but I called the Michigan beer guru, Don Simons and he told me that he does have one. Michigan Breweries 2 (the book) shows them starting up in 1907, so yes, the time frame fits.
Why do you ask?

I saw the two ambers that Bruce has on his site are crown tops with very similar embossing on one of them so I was just curious.

Right. The good thing about this shard is that it's in a slugplate. Neither one in Bruce's album is a slug. I'd like to get the pint blob, if I ever see one. Don's bottle is a quart.

That is incorrect. They are both listed as plate molds.
