Here is a nice vintage BIMAL (Blown In Mold, Applied Lip), embossed on front shoulder: “ANDREW LOHR / CAIRO ILL.”. Manufactured by a Midwest glasshouse, probably Pittsburgh district, 1865–1875. Very deep amber, cylindrical, 2-piece mold, keyed hinge mold, applied sloping collar with ring – smooth base, 9” tall; See, “Bottled in Illinois, 1840–1880”, page168, figure 127. A very scarce, early Ale form, Soda Water or Mineral Water bottle. The postage costs on this listing includes insurance costs.
Condition: Near Mint. Professionally cleaned to original luster with some light scattered wear remaining, and a couple of paper-thin, ¼” or less, very thin open surface bubbles on the reverse - very minor.
