Old blob top needs date & value

[cti4sw]

I went to my grandmother's in NJ for Memorial Day weekend, and I found this in her kitchen. She said one of my uncles found it at their old house in PA when they were kids, and she just kept it for aesthetics. Appears to be a handblown (no seams!) blob top with no base markings, only the embossed label, which reads "F. McKinney / (logo) / Philada" on the front and the logo again on the back. Pics:

Hi'ya cti4sw,

That looks like a 1870's to 1880's pony, perhaps made in Pittsburgh. Francis McKinney was a prolific bottler of beer. Because of the large amount of Philadelphia bottlers, they do not receive a lot of notice, nor greenbacks. It should be "worth" somewhere in the $10-15 range, though as a clue to finding more of it's brethren at your Uncle's old house, it could be invaluable...
