1873 stoneware bottle

[kwalker]

Yeah I bet that photo would be really neat to have for anyone around here. I love old photographs....especially ones that have something related to bottles in them []

Okay, I hoped I figured out how to do this. I had to scan the pics that my father had made copies of and separate them.

Hey, it works...so lets try it again. If anyone knows where one of these bottles can be located, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Barry,

Found a listing: "Trade Names for the brewery at 266/266 ½ William Street, New York City, NY:
Adrian Feyh’s Weiss Beer Brewery 1850-1893
Closed in 1893
Status of the building is unknown." From.

"Stoneware Beer Bottle "ADRIAN FEYH 266 - 266 1/2 WM. ST. N.Y. THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD" Feyh was in Manhattan N.Y.C. from 1861 to 1870." From Worthlesspoint.

Holabird had one in 2002: "901. Bottles. Adrian Feyh Stoneware Bottle. Has shape and general description of a ginger beer bottle. Brown “speckled†glaze (salt-glazed?), tapered collar top, sloping neck and defined shoulder. Name stamped on side in under graze transfer is: “Adrian Feyh, 266 William Street, New York.†Similar to #86, p 143 in Stau’s Illustrated Stone Ginger Beer Book, 1984. Clearly a pre-1900 bottle. Found at Lake City, between Columbia Hill and North Bloomfield. Souza Collection. Est. $50-100"

So what have you found out about Great Grandfather Adrian, other than that he was a handsome, stout hearted guy?

Among other things, he was the first of our family name to immigrate to the US from Germany when he was 16 years old in 1850. Looks like, judging by census records, he may have been married twice and I may have more relatives than I ever knew about. One of the wives I found had a maiden name of Kolb. I noticed on a list somewhere that there was a brewery in New Jersey run by Kolbs. I haven't yet been able to connect them to it yet.

There were three firms that brewed Weiss Beer with the Feyh name:

A & W Fehy, New York, 2 different bottles
Adreian Feyh, New York, 5 different bottles
Alexander Feyh, Hoboken, 3 different bottles

These are listed on sodas and beers:

Added the bottle listed above as it was not previously listed. That makes at least 6 different A. Fehy. I alos have the following on Alexander Feyh (1862-1877):
