New Ulm - bottle Schell or Schmucker

Scratch signed stoneware bottle from New Ulm Minnesota. The Company name is thought to be Schell because it is similar to the script on vintage Shell's beer bottle labels (Schell's beer is still made in New Ulm today), or possibly Joseph Schmucker. Either way it is a great New Ulm piece, extremely rare and possibly the only Midwest beer bottle that is scratch signed.
