Applied lip blob bev

I came home with a nice specimen, for a blob collector like me.. a very early example of a local.. must be from darn close to 1880 imho...

Always good to find the local stuff. How rare is it? Were they in business long?

Thanks, Matt and Paul! I've seen one other bottle from Henry Carroll.. the later version with the fancier "gay 90's" embossing, interlocking initials, etc.. so I don't think old Hank was a big time bottler, like French, Crate, or Degenring, who account for the vast majority of Red Bank bottles..

Nice bottle Charlie, and thanx again for the Mueller it really is a great addition to my collection, along with that Braun and Tiffany & Allen you turned me onto.
