I have finally found an elusive amber variant of the Theo Young blob-top beer bottle. This one is an especially dark example too. It is around 120-130 years old!

I have found many tooled blob and tooled crown John Eichler beer bottles over the years, but this appears to be a scarce large script variant that I have never encountered before on a tooled crown. Tooled crown variants typically have very small script. This variant is large like on the old blobs.

Two different variant Burt Brothers bottles from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. They are both pre-prohibition era tooled bottles. Found in Scranton Pennsylvania 5/1/2024.

This is a tooled-crown amber beer bottle. The Theo Young company operated between 1897-1915.

The bottle is stamped 'A&W FEYH'. The initials stand for Alexander & William Feyh, who operated out of Manhattan in the 1850's. According to my references this bottle dates to approximately 1859.

These are all finds from a dig I conducted on May 17th 2023. Highlights include Seipp's 2 1/2% Beer (1917-1919), a tooled Jacob Rupert's Beer (1910-1913), Scott's Emulsion, Coli-Actine, Major's Cement, Burnett's Flavoring Extracts, and a Flushing Mineral Water.

These are all finds from a dig I conducted last evening at my 1924-capped landfill, May 7th 2023: The large bottles include: 1. Tooled blob C. V. Garrison Flushing L.I. made by the Karl Hutter bottling works in 1908. 2. Tooled blob amber bottle, no markings. 3. Machine-made Artic Fruit Juice...

This bottle was made in 1908 at the Karl Hutter bottle and glass factory. I excavated it on May 7th 2023.

1. "North Beach Height F Frankel Bottling Co." (Bottle made by the Boley Manufacturing Co.,1898-1911) 2. "Bachmann - Bechtel Brewing Co. S.I. N.Y." (1907-1911) 3. "Jacob Oertel 151 Flushing Ave. Astoria L.I."

Went back to the 1910-capped clay pit bottle dump that I have been extensively excavating since January. It is very difficult digging but the trade off is the bottles often come out in great condition. In about two hours of digging I recovered three blob-top beer bottles, one tooled lip med, and...

This is a damaged C. V. Garrison beer bottle that I found. The top was broken off so I glued it back on. It was made at Karl Hutter's bottle factory in 1916, likely one of the last Lightning Stopper sealed bottles made there.

Found this unusual little bottle yesterday evening, it was made for Broe and Gorman of 404 - 6 East 60th Street NY: In situ: After a quick rinse: Despite looking somewhat like a Hutchinson style bottle it actually isn't, it would have sealed from the top with a porcelain lightning stopper...

This is a transitional-top Hutchinson bottle I found made for Broe and Gorman of 404-6 East 60th Street NY. Although it retains the overall shape of a Hutchinson, the bottle sports a longer neck and bigger blob to accommodate a Lightning Stopper in place of a Hutchinson Stopper.

Joseph Liebmann, son of Samuel Liebmann (Founder of S. Liebmann's Sons Brewing Co. and inventor of Rheingold Extra Dry) partnered with David Obermeyer, his brother in law, to form Obermeyer and Liebmanns. It operated from around 1890-1924 before being bought out by S. Liebman's Son's.

Got out today during a strong wind storm. The wind and waves washed away all the silt and exposed many old bottles to the surface. Here are some of today's finds: S. Liebman's Sons Brewing Co. Christian Wagners Sons: Obermeyer and Liebmann's Minck Bros. & Co. (8oz): Minck Bros &...

A rare 1890's import style James Everard's tooled blob top beer bottle with an embossed star. James Everard was an Irish brewer who operated in the then predominantly German dominated NYC brewing industry.

This is a tooled blob top Schlitz beer bottle. It reads "Trade Mark Schlitz Registered P. M. Ohmeis & Co. Sole Agents New York"

Went on a big adventure today in a muddy swamp. Five hours of constant walking, all mud, all new, likely never hunted by anyone before. The results, a couple hundred dollars in rare bottles including an original Shell Motor Oil, three late 19th C. blob tops - small, medium, and large, and two...

Went on another adventure today. First went snorkeling off an old pier, nothing to be found there but big sea snails unfortunately. Had more luck at another location where the recent rain storms had washed away some of the surface. Found a nice tooled pumpkin seed flask and a old perfume...

The woods that I found these in have been ridiculously thick with autumn olive for at least 30 years I'm guessing, so it's not likely that many people have ventured through lately, and it's even more unlikely that someone decided to stop and have a drink there. These are probably fairly old, but...

Howdy! A while back, a work buddy of mine bought these Hires Root Beer mugs from a garage sale. Without thinking I said, "I'll take them from you for $20 bucks", for one simple reason: They're cool looking mugs! So, here I am ... a little while later wondering about the history and possible...

I found a Frank Fehr Brewing Co. bottle (Louisville, KY) today while I was metal detecting a lake. It's in wonderful shape - but I don't know a darned thing about collectible bottles! I believe it used to hold beer... and the I know now that the co. went out of business in 1964. Tips on how to...
