SUPER bubbly bottle

[Bixel]

Got this from a local guy who buys antiques at garage sales and flea markets. Had a box of bottles I went through, and this was the only interesting one. Paid a whole $5 for it. I normally would not buy a British unembossed bottle, but this one was way too cool. It is LOADED with bubbles, carbon swirls, snotty swirls and a slightly crooked neck.

Bottle is marked on the bottom "Lyon Bros Makers" in a kickup. From the little bit I could find, it is a UK bottle. Bottle is a 3 piece mold with a nice applied top.

Pictures dont do is justice. Very junky glass in this one.

Any info on this one is appreciated.

From 1876...
Here's my entry in glass makers marks.
* Lyon Bros Makers (on base) ....Lyon Brothers Peasley Glass Works, St.Helens, UK. at least 1876-1890. Cannington Shaw took over the Peasley Glass Works in December 1890 as a result of Lyon Bros. going into bankruptcy. Just four years earlier the Lyons had become a limited company but their attempt at cutting wages by importing foreign labour led to damaging strikes and the company never recovered.

Hmmmm.... Importing cheap foreign labor led to the bankruptcy of the
company. guess everything is cyclical..
