MISCELLANEOUS BOTTLES
FLAVOURED BEER
Wm COOK
Green-aqua, 10 sided blob top
bottle with an iron pontil; 2
5/8” wide and 7 3/16” high. $3000.
The shape suggests that it is a flavoured beer and was blown at the Lockport, New York glass works. This is one of only two bottles known. This example is the same one described in Dr. R. Dean Axelson’s Encyclopedia of Toronto Embossed & Etched Bottles, 2000. The bottle is in very good condition except for a couple of chips on the closure.
Visit Antique Bottle and Glass Collector Magazine or Beer Bottle Collectors for an article by Ann Spear on Flavored Beers of Western New York which orginally appeared in an 1985 issue of AB & GC.
