ABSOLUTELY INSANE BOTTLE! As far as I’m concerned, this is the FIRST KNOWN clear blob top pint LZ Foerster in existence. I’ve seen another but it’s the tooled crown quart in clear. Stunning bottle at the good old dump! Buddy of mine dug it at the dump, can’t take the credit this time. It’s funny too because we were joking about finding one today and all of a sudden f**k there it is!!

Also managed to pull this incredibly rare, nearly whole Herman Hardinghaus Northern Brewery amber blob top quart. You never see these for sale and there’s only two others I know of. Definitely a year maker because I’ve been wanting to find one since I started. Hopefully the next one is whole. Crazy patina/mineral deposits on it too.

Mid 1880’s bottle, early blob with pronounced slug plate. Hardinghaus bought the brewery in 1884 so there’s the age range.

Crude, crude blob top. Cork is still in it too!

Sounds Familar, just yesterday when digging with you I say I want find a Dupper & you say it will never happen in that dump. Then 5 minutes later you pull out parts of a Dupper.

Snapchat saw it first, but two more Ann Arbor brewing companies popped out today. On a roll! Killer local dump full of the things I collect!

This very rare Michigan Union “half-pint” popped out today as well. I think this may be only the second known. Any beer bottles from washtenaw county that are clear are much harder to find with the exception of the Ann Arbor brewing company. You can see this exact blob top pint on Bruce Mobley.
