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. $20.00
