We'll start with these-- Muskegon amber blobs, tooled crowns, and my first beer which is a machine crown:Muskegon Brewing Co. highlighted gold (my first antique beer, and the only intact embossed one that has gone on display from where I found it in the lake.)
Next is my latest addition, and one that was given to me by TrueDigr: A Muskegon Bottling Works bottle of a variation I hadn't known existed (I believe it to be a rare variation.) Click here to learn more and see more photos (all blue links have more photos.)
We then have a rare Michigan Bottling Co. bottle. Learn more here.
Next is a mint-condition Muskegon Br'g Co. bottle with intact porcelain stopper in black/red.
Then is a rare tooled-crown Frank Scott bottle. There is almost nothing known on it. Untill 1893, at least, he merely sold, not bottled-- Methinks, though, that he didn't start bottling till close to 1900 or so, and he didn't last long.
Finally, a hand-tooled Muskegon Brewing Co. bottle. Back of ambers. In the final photo:
A. Luders & Co. rare hutch. Hutchbook listing here. My first blob-- also a Muskegon Bottling Works bottle--circa late 1880s. More on it here from an early thread of mine. S. C. Chumard, who has many things to his credit but is never credited with them. I got it whilst here. Here is how S. C. Chumard, Muskegon Bottling Works, and Muskegon Brewing Co. all tie in (click the blue.) If you like to learn about bottles' histories, then follow the links. I try to get as much information as I can into such links, for I know someone else will one day find it useful.
