The orientation of the eagle is different, but otherwise the trademark is very reminiscent to that of the Union Brewing Co. of Peoria, IL:

Thanks for trying, I'm determined to find the brewer. I've looked at every brewer in Michigans bottles and almost all have just words embossed in them. Is it rare to have a logo like this from that time period?

A trademark-only embossed blob beer like that is indeed unusual, but that doesn't necessarily mean that your particular bottle is rare. Wouldn't be surprised if it is, though.

I don't thinks it's that rare overall, the label would indicate the contents.If you were looking at Bruce Mobley's site, I think he only list bottles with the name and city embossed.
