I am looking for my first blob top. Preferably 1860s era. Nothing expensive or rare, but not cracked and chipped either. American only. I do not have an unlimited budget, so if you'd like to trade, I'm open for it. I trade bottles and reproduced arrowheads I make myself.

Not easy to come by those, my friend (meaning as a digger or hunter). I'm sure some may have them in their private collections though. My earliest blob can be dated in the mid-1880s. I have dozens of blobs, but nothing nearly that early, sorry.

I did say preferably, not excluding later ones. :)

I'm a Civil War buff, so if I can get a cw bottle, I'll try. I just want a classic blob top.

I have many NY blobs that may fit into your needs. Any of the five boroughs in particular?

What's a borough?

Anything as long as it is structurally sound. And cheap. Like I said, I'm just looking for my first.
NY City has five boroughs (simply put, like a town)... Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, Bronx. All had their own breweries a one time or the other. Mostly, I have Brooklyn and Manhattan blob beers. I can send you one at no cost if you just pay shipping. Consider it professional courtesy.

If it's no trouble, sure!

Okay, I'll go through my boxes and find a good one for you. We'll work on the honor system. I'll send you pics of the bottle first and tell me if that's acceptable.
