Brewer/Business Name: H & J Pfaff Brewery, Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Unknown
Date of manufacture: Pre-Prohibition
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions: 3-3/4 diameter x 10 h.
Comments/description: Rare, early paper labeled stoneware bottle. Early, likely from the first period during which the brewery operated under the name H & J Pfaff Brewery (versus Brewing Co.), from 1857-1893. There is no date on the piece, though it is likely from the 1880s. There is a makers mark below the right edge of the label, of which only GLASGOW is legible. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition
Vessel is excellent, with one small chip off the rim on the reverse. Label is surprisingly strong, with even toning and some loss around the edges, and dark, bold imprint. RARE OPPORTUNITY.
Available payment options
Winning bidders will receive an invoice within 3 days of auction close detailing shipping costs and insurance. Bidders may opt to accept the risk of loss or damage in transit and forego insurance by contacting auctioneer.
