Description: NEED THIS BUT COULD USE SOME EXTRA TIME? I'M OK WITH TWO OR THREE PAYMENTS, I'M EASY TO WORK WITH, LET ME KNOW HOW I MAY ASSIST. I’m liquidating a large collection of vintage hot rod, beer, radio and electronics items. Keep checking back, new items listed weekly as time allows. Please note - I was contacted by a noteworthy Waukesha collector/expert regarding some inconsistencies below. I have included his questions/comments, as well as researching the info down below further. Please take all this information into account, these are old items and opinions will vary:New message from: waukstuff (1,018)My name is John Schoenknecht. I have written several books about Waukesha history and have collected Waukesha bottles for more than 40 years. The bottle from Fox Head is DEFINITELY NOT a Pre Prohibition bottle. The bottle and label are from the 1940s. The ceramic tops you have on the bottle is NOT from that bottle, but from ½ gallon bottles of water that were sold before and during the Prohibition period.I hope that you will correct this, as it is misleading.ThanksJohn SchoenknechtI checked with a noteworthy bottle historian to get opinions on actual dates. Below is information received. Basically, the stopper is a 1893-1914 original Hutter stopper. These were used for blob bottles and early crown top bottles until Crown tops came fully online by around 1914.Because of the seaming, the beer bottle dates between 1910 - about 1914. There are mold marks that come up over the lip indicating early machine production.The label is a reproduction U-label, circa 1933-1935. The 1933-1935 labels were the first ones used post-prohibition and show the U-designation.Backup Information:Beverage bottles started using the Hutter Stopper in 1893. This involved a porcelain plug fitted with a rubber washer, which was then forced down into the lip of the bottle. This technique only works with carbonated beverages. The Hutter Stopper became standard in beer bottling in the late 1890s / early 1900s. Hutter stoppers were used until approximately 1914 when crown caps dominated the market.Machine Mold Seams - Bottles with these diagnostic mold seams in evidence were made by either semi-automatic or fully automatic bottle machines and virtually always date after 1900 (for wide-mouth bottles and jars) and after 1910 for narrow-bore bottles (Miller and McNichol 2002). *The U-Permit beer label was short lived, but is by far the most sought after type of beer label. From 1933 to 1935 the most prolific array of brands were marketed by breweries that were both big & small. So, the above is information from the bottle collecting community. It appears to be a 1910-14 bottle, with a 1893-1914 stopper and a reproduction 1933-1935 U-label. Also note the W in Waukesha has a matching unique trademark shape on both the bottle "W" and the stopper "W". Thanks NICE OLD BOTTLE FROM THE LATE 1800'S-EARLY 1900'STHIS IS ANOTHER ANTIQUE BOTTLE WITH MATCHING FOX HEAD STOPPER. LABEL IS A REPRODUCTION. THESE BOTTLES ARE RESTORATIONS, like if you were restoring a car. You start with the car, and then re-build it with a mix of original, restored and reproduction items: BOTTLE – Hand selected, best which could be located original bottles, cleaned as well as possible using rotary copper shot. Not perfect, some still show scale, but cleaned and scrubbed and polished up as best as humanly possible. PORCELAIN / CERAMIC STOPPER – In some cases harder than the bottle to locate, best ones used. Stoppers meticulously cleaned up, many start out in terrible condition with bales rusted inside. This is really a process in itself getting these usable and can take hours of work. RUBBER WASHER – Current TPE washers used, not the old nitrile rubber that hardens up quickly. METAL RETAINING BALE – A mix of current stainless pieces, reproduced, hand-fabricated pieces all in polished stainless steel. These have to be individually sized and hand fit to the bottles as many, especially blob top bottles are all different. Metal retaining wire is copper.REPRODUCTION LABELS – Many different labels were used by the breweries and bottling companies. They would use different labels on the bottles and some of the bottlers had different manufacturers they were working with, so there could be dozens of different labels used on the same bottles. All these labels are picked to be appropriate to the brewer in the correct time period. They are REPRODUCTION LABELS WHICH HAVE THE ARTWORK DIGITALLY CLEANED UP AND PRODUCED ON WATERPROOF MATERIAL. THEY ARE NOT PAPER LABELS, THEY ARE MUCH MORE DURABLE. Many hours went into these restorations. They are not dirty old barn finds with rusting bales. They are cleaned up RESTORATIONS and very nice!
