Blossom's Badger Ale

Blossoms BADGER ALE bottles were made in black glass, olive green, shades of amber and deep emerald. These are pieces of some colors of the smaller variety the I refer to as "half pint" with large lettering. Blossoms bottles were probably blown at the Lancaster Glass Works of New York in 1849 or 1850, because one of the molds has an unusual reversed "200" embossed on the bottom like the GV-2 railroad flask. The diameter of the two pieces is 2 7/8" and may be the same mold as the intact variety. The larger green piece to the right is has an iron pontil mark and was found together with the other fragments in a city of Milwaukee dump truck that got its contents from an unknown part of Milwaukee. It does not show any embossing but most likely is also a Blossom's Badger Ale.
