If you find a bottle years later that you forgot about, does it count as new??

That one does for sure. As someone who collects pictorial bottles - I’d be thrilled to find it again

Wow that one's amazing, might be the best embossing I've ever seen on a blob beer!

I forget about bottles i have in storage all the time. I guess i should make a list of my inventory. Maybe i am losing my memory. Brings back alot of memories though.

That pictorial blob is terrific! That's a bottle I'd certainly display. A blob top pictorial is highly desired by collectors and if in fine condition could fetch top dollar. Hang on to that one.

Thanks for loving the cool picture blob as much as I do. Here are pics of both sides . It is a Phildephia bottler. It seems to just have heavy staining inside not much outside of the bottle.

That is a dandy; and it might well have contained a brew style that I am particularly fond of. Quoting from the Beer Connoisseur:

"The “-ator” suffix is a typical naming convention for doppelbock beers, both as a nod to the Paulaner beer and because patent laws finally prevented other brewers from using the “Salvator” name for their similar beers. The image of a goat is also closely associated with the bock style in general."

My own difficult to locate favorite is Spaten's "Optimator."
