Missoula Bottling Works Blob top.

becollects · February 2022

I have A Missoula Bottling Works blob top bottle from Missoula Montana. I found this bottle at the local antique store.

On the bottom, it says S B and G CO, No 18.

There's no other embossed lettering on the bottle, other than the front and the bottom.

I would like to know more about this bottle, and the company who made it.

Thanks for posting but it appears you have received replies via a posting on another forum. Those post did not mention that S B & G Co. is the mark of Streator Bottle and Glass Co. of Streator, IL which was in business from 1881 to 1905.

Your Hutchinson soda bottle appears to be exceptionally clean and I wonder if it has been tumble polished...

Yours appears to be a variant yet undocumented on account of the base embossing.

I am sure the author of that website would like to include your bottle in his directory - get in touch with him.
