Bob,
You are killing us with these killer sodas ya keep posting !! Where was Nusbaum from? You have any from Walnutport? Wasn't it just a lettered bottle as well. Do you have the elusive Hottenstine tall blue in your arsenal? Oh and thanks again for the DS, real nice addition.

Hi Randy. The Nusbaum hails from Weissport. I did have a "W. Siegfried" from Walnutport marked Union Glass Works, but traded it for some nice Tamaqua stuff. I've never had a tall cobalt Hottenstine (yet). Glad you're happy with the DS. Take care.

More precise info on the Nusbaums. The example marked "Nusbaum & Brothers" is actually from Weissport, and is iron pontilled. The "1862" variant reportedly is actually from Lehighton but is not marked as such.

we dug one dated 1864 in Parryville a few years back...
a shame they're not pontiled.....

Hi Jim. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Nusbaums also are embossed with the dates 1861 thru 1864. I've seen one of the 1863 examples. ~Bob.
