Around from 1889 to 1901, this small company bottled soda-pop and beer in Muskegon, Michigan. It is one company I keep searching after but have only two of a handful of variations from.
This was given to me as payment for labour. It is one of two variations in this style that is known, and this is the crudest Baltimore Loop Seal mouth (top) I have ever seen. By 1889, most American bottles should have been tooled, but this one is also an applied top!
(Most of you have no idea how amazing that is, do you? LOL.)
Pic one is of it highlighted by me.
Pic two is half-way through highlighting it.
Pic three is it unhighlighted, and therefore more difficult to read at distances.
Pic four is of it's applied top, the style known as a Baltimore Loop Seal as it has a little ledge on the inside.
It is one of my favorite bottles.
