Cobalt Blue Beer Bottle

[Ye Olde Prospector]

While scouting out some new areas this weekend I found this bottle sticking out of the leaves by an old stonewall. Found a few more late 1800's bottles scattered around it.
Looking for more info on it. The base is embossed A.B.G.M. Co/ I / BELLEVILLE/ ILL
guessing this is probably where the bottle was made. Wondered if someone knows date mfg. which brand of beer, and value etc. Not planning on selling it, makes a very pretty window bottle.

Hey Cliff, you got a real nice bottle there. [] ABGM Co is "ADOLPHUS BUSCH GLASS MANUFACTURING Co." Cirrca 1886 to 1928. I don't know a value, but Busch bottles are very collectible and that blue sure is nice! Congrats! Kelley

PS. Belleville Ill. is where it was made.

Thanks Gunsmoke,
The seam stops near the tooled collar so I am guessing it is probably pre 1900 also no crown top. Sure surprised me to see it just laying there. Glad the neck was downhill it never would have survived otherwise. Thanks again.
