r. berger bottle

[jnoon]

Hello, brand new member here, just found the site. I have a bottle I was curious about, couldn't find any info by googling. It is a dark teal color (I believe) possibly a mineral water bottle, not sure. It appears to be stamped with a plate R.BERGER
BERWICK
Pa

Really cool bottle in great shape. Has anyone seen a bottle with this writting?

A picture speaks a thousand words, any way you could post a photo of this bottle? Even better if you can include details about the lip finish and base of the bottle.

Lets see if this pic works

I guess it worked, here's another.

I searched your bottle on "North American Soda & Beer Bottles", and was able to find some info.

See this link:

I believe yours may be the second one listed.

Thanks for the reply, that looks like a cool site. The second one sounds like mine. Funny thing, I didn't even notice that Berwick was misspelled until I took the photo and noticed that the C is actually a G. It stands out more prominently in the photo.

Looks like a close match, but the incorrect spelling they are referring to appears to be "bUrwick", unlike yours with the "berwiGk" error.... Hmmmmm!

BTW..... Nice bottle and great photos!

Very cool, I wonder how many are out there that are misspelled like mine. Certainly seems to make it a bit more unique...

Looks like a Baltimore Glassworks bottle to me....I am sure chris (BaltBottle) would know.

This appears to be a third bottle for Berger. I'll add it to the site. Can I use your picture? I'll give credit.
