Rare 1/2 Pint honey amber Watertown Wisconsin blob beer

[tfredrich]

Here is a rare 1870's blob half pint beer from the tiny town of Watertown Wi. Charles Fuermann was a beer brewer in the late 1870's. This came during a river dive for bottles not far from my house. I had never even found a shard of one of thse and this one was in a pile with 5 other broken examples. It pays to keep on truckin!

That's an amazing bottle! I love the color on it. Yellow olive? That weathered look makes it really look nice. Great find!

Way to go Tom! That is so sweet. I can't believe you found that. Really really nice catch. Did you see what those sold for at the big auction? One (the best one) went for $740!!!

Man Tom. Those guys are right. That thing is nice - and not just the color. I love how (in the monogram) the "F" seems to three-dimentionally lay in the middle of the "C". Once again, congrats.
