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. NICE OLD BOTTLE FROM THE LATE 1800'S-EARLY 1900'S IN THE VERY EARLY DAYS OF SAN FRANCISCO THERE WAS AN EMPIRE BREWERY. THIS BREWERY WOULD HAVE BEEN PRE-EMBOSSED BOTTLE PERIOD, SO THERE ARE NO RECORDS OF WHAT BOTTLES MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE. THIS ONE WAS ASSEMBLED TO LOOK LIKE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, THE EARLY GREEN SLUMPED GLASS, A LABEL MADE FROM THEIR OLD ADVERTISING AND AN EMPIRE CAP FROM A DIFFERENT LATER BREWERY NAMED EMPIRE. SO THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF A KIND, IT IS A PLACE HOLDER FOR THE ULTIMATE SAN FRANCISCO BREWERY COLLECTION, IT IS ONE OF A KIND AND NO OTHERS WILL BE MADE. 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!
