I'm guessing 1870's to 1890's, but hoping someone here can more closely pin-point a date of these Poth's Bock blob top bottles. s-l1600 (6).jpg

Cool bottle photo! I’d also say around 1900. The porcelain lightning stoppers are typically seen on beer bottles from that timeframe and later, while the all-metal ones like the one on the left can be earlier.

I concur with the above two. Kudos in finding blobs with paper labels and in that condition is quite impressive.

Actually it's a old photo that's up for sale, and I was trying to I.D. the gent in the picture, after determining a more accurate time frame, I'm guessing that it's Frederick J. Poth and not his father Frederick A. Poth which there are no known images of.s-l1600 (8).jpg

Oops, I thought you may have them in your possession.
