Here's a rare blob top from St Louis

[ShowMeStateBottles]

E. Schroeder & Co was only in business for 1 year

That would make it pretty rare, I'd say.

He's more famous for his bottling in east St. Louis. He picked up and moved after only one year in Missouri. I was pretty happy to get one in this good of shape.

What year was he in business?

The year 1864 only.

That's a nice find, congrats on the acquisition! 1864 is indeed a rather narrow date range.

So did this Schroeder (or Schroder) have any relation to the later "Schroeder's B.W.B.Co. St. Louis bottler?

 

[ShowMeStateBottles]

Tim would be the one to answer that, I will leave that question to him.

 

[ShowMeStateBottles]

Nice bottle by the way.

Thanks, It's pretty but in terms of rarity it's got nothin' on your fine piece.
