No doubt I was very fortunate to uncover it. I've never seen another in 20 years of digging and hunting.That's a hell of a way to start a collection. And to think, my collection started with a hobbleskirt Coke!
I can't recall with certainty, but I think it was an India Wharf Brewing Co. Since then I've uncovered nearly 50 blob beers from that location. Some are mint, others are battle worn but I still keep them. Here's a pic of my display collection, but there are over a dozen or more in storage (I'd estimate 20). Mostly doubles or partially damaged. There's 33 blob beers in this pic and I'm proud to say I found every one of them.Definitely a quality first find. Find anymore bottles with it?
It's in remarkably good shape considering it's probably around 70 years old. Nice pickup!Nice bottle, now you need the can to go with it. LOL.View attachment 201589
My collection started with a Carrico bottle from Portugal It has embossed LABOR OMNIA VINCI. I followed this rule 12 years ago.Here is my treasured bottle. It was my first bottle find (1999) and I've been on a hunting and digging frenzy ever since. Not bad for the first "keeper" bottle I ever found. A sought after, pictorial Schaefer blob top.
