M. Morath

[JGUIS]

This beautiful bottle is a friends, and I was wondering how different it is.

 

[JGUIS]

It not only has a blot out on the opposite shoulder.

But also a blot out of a text box in the middle.

It's a great shade too.

Interesting form for a beer. Other than the brewery seamed to have closed in 1865 I'm not familiar.
Here's a brief history of Michael Morath and the brewery, see page 4 of the PDF.

I had to go out but if you search Michael Morath brewery you can find a lot. Change a keyword or two and more will likely happen. FROM

I don't recall seeing more than a handful of shoulder embossed American ales, let alone one in THAT color, in 40 years.
There are NONE from Michigan, that I am aware of.

I figured Doug would've chimed in on this one by now, being that he has pulled every variant of this bottle out of the ground. I dug an amber that was embossed in the middle, Morath & Sons. Newark O I'm wondering if anyone knows of another bottle like the one above, to try and figure out what was peened out of the mold.

Hey Josh,

Is the McCully mark on that example?

From Tods site:

Embossed: // s // M. MORATH // NEWARK. O // // b // () W McCULLY & Co / () PITTSBURGH
