Capillo and Co. Blob Top

[maine_digger92]

Hello, I am fairly new to the forum. As my first post, I would like to post this blob top that I found while digging today. However, I can't seem to find any information on it (age, value, contents, etc.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! The front reads "C. Capillo & Co. Boston, Mass. 142 &144 Commercial St. Registered". Back reads "This Bottle Not To Be Sold". Bottom reads "A 671"

Welcome . There are a lot of Maine diggers and collectors here. I don't know a thing about your bottle except that there were a lot of brewers in Boston. Yours could be common or completely unknown. I'm hoping someone will know some Boston history to help you out. I'm in the mid coast area, by the way. What part of the state are you in?

 

[maine_digger92]

Hello, thank you for the response . I live in Eastern Maine, around Eastport area. Lot's of nice bottle caches and dumps around here :}

 

[beendiggin]

There's someone on here who dives for bottles up your way. He's found some nice stuff. Glad you're finding those dumpsites. I try to get up that way every summer for some camping at Cobscook.

Ahhh, I saw a few of his posts, he has some killer finds. And Cobscook is a great place to be!

I like the way the address goes around in a circle like that. Pretty unique. Nice find

Hey Ben,

Welcome and thanks for showing us your latest. T'is a handsome blob.

A pair of less desirable Capillos just went unbid.

Most likely a beer or soda from the turn of the 2nd to last century.

Sometimes OCR doesn't translate to text very well so your guess is as good as mine for some of it.
