    This bottle was a part of a case of old bottles sold at a garage sale at a bargain price. I'd like to know more about this bottle beyond what's written on it (PH. Wm Kessler Carlstadt, NJ), but there's almost nothing out there about it. I think it looks super cool, especially being that it's so incredibly beat up, it is still pretty much intact, almost declaring "I'm still standing!". It's this resilience and character that i just love about this bottle. Any more information about it is much appreciated. Thanks!

      Thank you, Nicefice, that shed some light on it. Will keep searching.

      The stag head was used by so many in advertising. Very nice.
    3. AnnaB AnnaB, 8 years ago
      Thank you, Caperkid. Do you know what it was used for, or approx. year it was made, or anything about the company? There's so little out there about this bottle, and yet, it sounds like it's not such a rare bottle.
    4. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Anna the company started in 1868 if this helps.
    5. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Think it was soda or mineral water these bottles are not considered rare but are highly sought.
    6. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      This bottle also had a Hutchinson spring stopper.
    7. AnnaB AnnaB, 8 years ago
      yes, thank you, Caperkid, this helps. When you say it was used by so many in advertising, can you please elaborate... what kind of advertising, or companies, or in what capacity? Thank you so much. This is very intriguing.
    8. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      In general terms the stag head is used in whiskey,soda guns and ammunition, beer,insurance, etc, a very popular logo not just relating to this bottle. The elk head here is for the benevolent and protective order of elks .Founded 1868.
    9. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Exact age not sure but a good guess between 1879 and the beginning of ww1.
    10. AnnaB AnnaB, 8 years ago
      Great, thanks so much! I consider you solved it =)
    11. Caperkid, 8 years ago
      Anna i posted a beer bottle with stag head for you. This was what i was mentioning about advertising.
      Roy.
    12. AnnaB AnnaB, 8 years ago
      Thanks, Roy. Yes, I see what you mean. Thanks again for your help and knowledge!

      Anna was my pleasure have a great day and keep posting.

      I'm thinking that it is a seltzer bottle from the 1910s (It has the right shape, but I've never seen one without its top.) It is missing its top as it was likely dug up. The tops almost always fall to pieces outside and in the ground (So I've read.)
      I am pretty dang sure that it is not a Hutchinson bottle. The mouth is all wrong. So is the base.
