HAYES & FILLMORE ST. / SAN FRANCISCO. / TO YOUR HEALTH / AND PROSPERITY. / 1911 " Most of gold around rim is gone but enough remains to see it. Glaze has overall crazing (from age). Lettering is in very good condition with only two or three letters being light. May have been done from the making process. No chips, cracks, dings or stain. A nice mug but I could not find any history on the company. Can anyone help me in the history of this piece? Please contact me. $100.00

Embossed on the front : " ETNA BREWERY / ETNA MILLS " Bottle is in good condition but does have a small (almost) burst bubble on the right side. I would say that it looks like, under a magnifier, to be a onion skin bubble with no glass missing. Also, some light scratches and some high point wear on a few of the letters ie: ENA in Etna and MLS in Mills. Bottle displays mint! This bottle is quite crude. It also leans to the right and the neck leans to the left. There a few nice seed bubbles and stretch marks in the neck and back of bottle. This bottle comes from the "still" small town of Etna, California in the Scott Valley between Fort Jones and the Marble Mountains. In fact, the brewery is still in operation today. New owners since the Chas. Kappler family ran it years ago. But, I must admit, the micro brew they produce today is wonderful! By the way, this was not a paid advertisement! A nice, early 1880's beer bottle. $18.00

Embossing on front : " VICTORIA / BREWING CO. / VICTORIA B. C. / NOT TO BE SOLD ". Almost mint with just a few very light scratches. No chips, dings, pings, cracks or stain! Nice crude glass with loads of swirls, whittle, bubbles and stretch lines. Oh, did I mention that the bottle leans to the right? $85.00

BEER-9 11 1/4" tall, round cylinder quart, BIM with a tooled top and a smooth, slightly indented base. A nice med. yellow - green color. Looks to be Chinese embossing along the bottom of the bottle. ( please pictures ) Bottle is near mint with some very light scratches and a small ping on the very base, heel. No glass is missing. Some nice swirls and stretch lines in the glass give this bottle some nice appeal. $30.00
