Description: Antique AB connected Adolphus Busch Manufacturing Company, and/or the American Bottle Company beer bottle that's blown in mold, dating to the very early 1900's. Measures 9-5/8" tall, with a hand tooled crown, a little stretch in the neck, and some entrapped air bubbles in this blue- aqua beer bottle. Most of the bottles with the “AB-connected” or “conjoined AB” mark embossed on the bottom are handmade (mouth-blown) and were made to contain beer. They date from the circa 1905-1917 time period, and (possibly) primarily from an earlier stretch within those years: c. 1905-1909. Most (but not all) of these bottles originally contained Budweiser brand beer marketed by Anheuser-Busch of St. Louis.The AB-connected mark may have been used only on bottles manufactured at the two Adolphus Busch Glass Manufacturing Company plants (located in Belleville, IL and St. Louis, MO) that became part of the American Bottle Company merger in 1905. It seems very likely that this particular mark was originally used by Adolphus Busch, but later “adopted” (circa 1905) as the standard mark used on the base of generic beer bottles produced by American Bottle Company – for some period of time thereafter. -Glass Bottle MarksIn very good condition with just a half inch long flash on the neck/shoulder, and two much smaller ones below that, otherwise fine.
