A. Engel & Son

This dark brown spruce beer ale blob bottle is embossed and thought to be made around 1900. Blob top bottles are one-part finish types that are rounded on the outside surface and "blob-like." This finish was commonly utilized from the mid 19th through early 20th centuries on bottles that held carbonated beverages like soda and beer. The blob finish formed a good anchor for wiring down the cork or stopper. These bottle tops are prevalent to collectors and well-known in the antique community.
