Cobalt Blue Beer Bottle

[diggerjeff]

i live about 100 mi from st louis and alton where these bottles were made. they are a great color and always a thrill to find. cant say for sure that it contained a busch product, because they made and sold bottles to alot of people. i have dug three or four of these over the last 20 years or so. not a very common one around these parts! the glass must have been good because all that i have dug have had no sickness. i think that is a 75.00+ bottle.

Hi diggerjeff,
Thanks for the info. Didn't realize Adolfus Busch made bottles for other companies
as well. Think you are right on their glass being good quality, there is no sickness or pitting on the bottle I found. I would immagine the bottle I found had lain out in the wx for at least 75 years and is still shiny as when it was made probably 100 years ago. I found a book that said the Belleville glass plant was from 1886-1907 Thanks again.
