Wire assembly is intact and original to this pre-prohibition brewery bottle.
Description of the bottle:
Aqua glass
Absolutely flawless, attic \"mint\" condition
Very strong embossing
The embossing on this picture beer bottle is as follows: \"The George Bechtel Brewing Co, Bottled At Brewery, Stapleton, Staten Island. Large image of helmeted warrior, soldier who is holding up a flag with \"Excelsior\" printed on it. Great detail and strongly embossed!
George Bechtel\'s Brewing Co. operated on Staten Island, New York (one of the five boroughs that make up the New York City) and continued in business there until George died in 1907 in his late 40\'s.

This cap is not the traditional \"tear drop\" or \"tapered\" shape of a Hutter patent stopper. Rather, this stopper is cylindrical.
The stopper is unmarked with regards to patent date or maker.
Other stoppers of this shape and size are often imprinted with \"Dreyfuss\" patent information.
Each of my beer brewery bottles have been stored carefully in a smoke free, pet free environment for years.
I\'ve moved recently and space to display everything is just not available.
Instead of storing these great bottles out of site in a wine box for years longer, it makes sense to pass them on to those from the antique bottle and brewery collectibles fields who can display them and love having them as I have.
Take a look at my other items for sale at this time.
There will be many beer and brewery bottles, most with porcelain ceramic stoppers.
There will be dairy bottles in various sizes, mostly from Bucks County, Pennsylvania and surrounding area.
There will be all sorts of other old collectibles that have recently resurfaced through the activity of moving everything into one, smaller, forever home and now trying to find room for everything and trying to display what is surely bringing the most joy to us.
I always promptly refund any extra postage / shipping money that you may send my way.
I will always be happy to combine postage and shipping costs for you to save lots of money by purchasing several items at one time.
I pack all bottles with lots of packing paper, bubble wrap, etc, so no worries there.
This will be shipped Priority Mail from the USPS in a free post office carton.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to get you prompt and clear answers quickly.
Thank you all for viewing my treasures at this time.
Please look around as I\'ll be uploading additional items as rapidly as I can through July 4th weekend.
Have a safe 4th of July everyone!
May God Bless you and your family in 2024.
