B.Y.C.O. Blob Top

[Semar]

This one is 7 and a half inches; beer or soda?
I read the monogram as BY co.
Who's the bottler?

Sodasandbeers attributes it to Yuengling Bottling Company, not sure if that's the exact same company as that Yuengling because they have it listed as a different entity, but it's also from Pottsville so presumably related in some way. http://www.sodasandbeers.com/SABShowBottle.aspx?Bottle=62432AA&Firm_Number=62432

So I was wondering that since Yeungling started in 1829 when did he start bottling his beer?
I understand that he sold sodas during prohibition, maybe these squat monogram bottles held soda.
That would avoid any confusion about whether it was beer or not, plus it looks like a 6oz bottle.
Wrong again, it was near beer.
But they did use clear blob tops.
