Help IDing an early blob-top

[hemihampton]

I'd believe that's probably from Cleveland. Leisy was pretty big in Ohio. Opened in 1873 & they closed in 1959 & made Beer cans in Cone Tops & Flat Tops. LEON.

P.S. Does it look like it may say Isaac in front of Leisy?

I believe that top is called a "sloping collar" not a blob.

Yeah, I figured it had a different name than blob, do you know what time period these "slope-collars" were used? It looks more like an early whiskey bottle top.

That Brewery existed with that name from 1882-1893. I'd suspect the bottle is from that Time frame. I call about any old Beer Bottle that predates the crown top a blob top, even baltimore loops. may not be correct as far as some are concerned but to me they are just different kind or shapes of blobs but still blobs. Just my 2 cent opinion? others may vary. LEON.

Leisy Brewery | Cleveland Historical

In 1873, Isaac Leisy and his two brothers (all originally from Bavaria in Germany) left their small brewery in rural Iowa and came to Cleveland after purchasing Frederick Haltnorth's brewery on Vega Avenue for $120,000. Haltnorth (who was also the proprietor of Haltnorth's Gardens -- a beer...

Wait - he bought a brewery in the 1870s for $120,000? Surely there're some misplaced zeros there? If not, that's one HECK of a brewery!

Pretty much the same way I feel about the term used prior top crown top bottles....I still find it odd that I can't even find an image of this time period bottle, not even in early advertising.

I believe the machinery was costly, more so than the building.

I live in the wrong part of the country to find many real old bottles

Sloping collars are usually on whiskeys or other non-carbonated liquids. Could be from the late 1800s to yesterday. Sodas and beers had thicker tops (and thicker glass) so the top could be secured better.

No, what's left of it is how I found it, I need to look closer in the area where I found it to see if any more of it is still there. The spot it was in is not the easiest place to get into and dig, kinda an awkward stance because of the terrain where this dump site is located....frigg'n briars, along with mud, a water run off, a ditch running through, and on a hillside, if you can imagine all that in one small spot...lol

It’s a glamorous hobby- then u get to take them home and clean them, always a big mess for me! Someone should start a 12 step program here- or maybe a patch or something. Sick people here...My people! Represent...
