Beer?

[SkyPirate]

Any help identifing it would be appreciated. Idea of value would be nice too.

About 9 1/4 inches tall, a hair over 2 1/2 inch diameter bottom. The front reads " Elk Bottling Wks. H.R. Vanhoesn & Son Prop's" "Delhi N.Y." Hard to see at bottom front: "REGISTERED THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD"
Glass has bubbles in it, no markings on bottom and had a wire top holder around neck.

That's a tough one Sky. Could be a small local bottle maker in the Delphi area. Might be a soda or suds bottle. I'm still searching. jgas

Come on now, someone out there has to know something about this bottle?

That style of bottle was typically used for beer. They date from about the 1880s to just after 1900. I know nothing about the bottler.
