So I got back to the barn today. The ear of corn was a clear one, machined, so I passed on it. There was no Bitters on it etc. But I did find these in the travels.

ORIGINAL: Mike O

Thou shall not Steal blob beers are not “rare†but they really are not common either. The reason most of them say (THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD) was that the brewer owned the bottles and they wanted them back to recycle and reuse. “What’s old is what’s new! In the hay day with all the breweries popping up the really shady ones would steal others bottles and just stick there label on it. So at some point a few breweries started to try and guilt others into not stealing there bottles and using them for themselves! I hope this little bit of info helps. By the way I collect blob beers, I have close to 500 different Massachusetts blobs and then another 500 from other states and I do NOT have a thou shall not steal one! I like the peppersauce too. And sorry I can’t help you with the ear of corn but seeing as where it is I may think it is original!

You said it Mike O!

Here is a Philly one with a slugplate H. Muller 31st & Jefferson Sts Phila ...

Its one of my favorite bottles.

Here it is next to another one. I have always called em teal but it doesnt have alot of blue or green in it. I have the clear, aqua, emerald, and these. I think it is teal. The new one is almost mint the other one needs a tumble. But nice.

That Henry Mueller blob top bottle dates to 1873-1881. Interesting. LEON.
