    1890's Blob Top Beer + Other Relics

    Went on a fun and exhausting adventure today exploring a very inhospitable land long forgotten by time. A few things from over 100 years ago lay plainly visible on the surface in some places while in other places I had to dig through thick mud to get to them. Here's a picture of all the day's...
  6. Jacob Rupert - Tooled Crown Amber Beer

    Jacob Rupert - Tooled Crown Amber Beer

    Interesting piece of US history. Rupert opened the brewery in 1913 in Manhattan. He later bought the Yankees in 1915 and opened Yankee Stadium in 1923. He employed some of the biggest legends of baseball including Babe Ruth. Hall of fame induction in 2013. And it all started with this beer.
  7. David Mayer Beer - Tooled Blob Top

    David Mayer Beer - Tooled Blob Top

    David Mayer was an ex-Confederate soldier who moved to the Bronx, New York after the Civil War and started a brewery. The brewery was very successful but was closed by federal agents when Prohibition went into effect. This is one of the original bottles found close to where the brewery once stood.

    1940 Rainier Extra Export Stout Beer

    Here is a hard-to-find 1940 paper label beer bottle from Rainier Brewing Company. The bottle was made by Owens-Illinois. I am curious what the red number on the label means, and if each label had a unique number. Extra Export Stout began production in 1936. The product did not have a long run...
  17. Soda Bottle Love

    How rare is this bottle/I can't find any info on a beer bottle.

    So recently I found this The Vincent Co. 1 pint bottle and I'm wondering what it's worth. On the top, it reads "Coca-Cola bottling works Auburn, ME." Unfortunately, part of the neck was broken off when I found it. I heard somewhere that it was maybe a "rare" size but all and all I don't really...

    Jacob Schmidt. Doesn’t look like anything online.

    I found this Jacob Schmidt Brewing Conpany bottle in my digging hole. I googled it and the only one I see like it says “registered” On the front and does not say “contents - 13 FL OZ” on the back. Boom or bust?

    Too damaged to bring home but worth some photos

    I wanted to show some photos of various bottles I've come across in the past few weeks while out in the woods. They are all either broken or have bad labels but I wanted to document what is out there. For those unaware, I post photos of my good bottles in albums here...

    Any point in keeping blank pre-1900 bottles?

    I have quite a few pre-1900 bottles with no markings lying around, is there any interest in these? If someone wants them I would be glad to send them, but I imagine interest is low. Here's a photo. They haven't been cleaned yet as I usually just throw them out.
