I ended up with a blob beer bottle in a large lot of beers I bought the other day that is quite odd. From a few feet away it looks like a slick slug plate 1880's beer. When I looked closer, however, this bottle is machine made. Honestly this is the first blob beer from the US that I have ever seen that was machine made. Anyone have any idea about the letters on the base? The bottle appears to have been made on some early non-Owens machine as there is no Owens ring.
