Altered bottle mold.

Here is a B. Hager union hill nj. Union hill became part of union city in 1924.I know it is not uncommon for molds to be altered to save money. I cant tell if it was a totally different bottle mold altered for this bottle. Hard to see in the pictures but under the a in hager is a & symbol then above the town name is the name Hauerstein. Hard to photo but easy to see read in person. Does anyone know if they were partners or what. Thanks

I am 90% sure the mold used to make this bottle to was for a B. Hager & Hauerstein. The mold was poorly altered and is easy to still read. I have seen lots of B. hager bottles, but not any B. Hager & Hauerstein. Anyone know of such a bottle?

1924 is incorrect. Union hill and West Hoboken became union city in 1925. I also meant to mention the putnam cork retainer. Invented in 1859 it was widely used on soda and mineral water from 1860s through the 1880s until finally being replaced by hutchinson stoppers.

I figured it out. The name removed was & Hauenstein. Charles Hausenstein was listed as a brewer in union hill in the 1880s. No mention of him being partnered with B Hager.

Does anyone know of a B Hager & Hauenstein blob from Union Hill NJ?

You'd have to go through each year of City Directories to pin point the year of there Partnership. Just like this Calnon & Cronk only Partnered in 1858 I'm told by somebody that has/had access to all the Detroit City Directories. LEON.


P.S. Notice this mold has also been modified.
