4 old blob top beer bottles I grabbed at a barn sale today.
1) Joe Doelger's Sons New York - No other real markings other than "This bottle not to be sold"
2) North American Brewing Co. Hamburg & Greene Aves. Brooklyn - marked "B" on the bottom.
3) S. Liebmann's Sons Brewing Co. - marked B-8 on the bottom
4) Otto Huber Brewery Brooklyn, NY - marked "B4" on the bottom
I don't really know anything about these....just thought they were neat and I would share. If anyone knows more please let me know.
While hunting for mushrooms, I found a whole cache of old bottles: green, white, old liqour bottles. Are they worth holding on to?
Def.....Yes, keep looking around...worth about 15.00 -25.00 each...If there are these aroud i would give it a long hard look...i would bring my metal detector there!

Interesting. I've thrown a few in recycling bin, but have kept quite a few after I came to my senses! No doubt they've been there since the '60s-
Thanks so much for your insight!
Your bottles date from the 1870-1885 time period. They probably had a Putnam cork retainer type closure.
