My newest addition, the top has been reattached but it's a very hard bottle to come by in this color, only the second or third that I know of.

William S. Kinch was born in 1836 in NYC and was married to Jane Kinch, they had 7 children, Edward, Willie. Peter, George, Mary, Jennie and Frank. Kinch was partnered with Richard Walmsley at 113 Main St in Paterson from 1854 thru 1862, they bottled mineral as well as Ale and Porter, there are no known bottles from this partnership. Then in 1862 Kinch is listed at this address by himself still bottling mineral water and beer. In 1876 Kinch moves to 61-63 Prospect St. and runs his operation there until 1887.

In 1882 Richard Warren, who had worked for Kinch for a number of years, becomes his partner and they move the operation down the street to 89-93 Prospect St.. They remained partners until 1898, then in 1899 Kinch is no longer with the company. This bottle also comes in amber, cobalt blue, 7UP green and some odd shades of teal, I am also showing some of the other colors for comparison.

Those are some great bottles epackage. And your research is the best.
 

It's the best collecting local bottles. Great looking stlye of bottle!! It's nice to fill a hole:)
 

Wow, these are just beautiful, and congratulations! These look like fairly chunky bottles, like they aren't very slender compared to others. How tall are these?

This might be a rare colour but that 7up green always looks so outlandish! 'Couldn't pick a favourite though...
 

Sweet. Great post and congratulations on getting this one.
 

Paterson's the place.!

These are typically considered a "Weiss Beer" form, here is one from another bottler next to a regular pony bottle by the same bottler, it is the only documented one known at this time. I got it from a woman who saw a Craigslist add I posted, her great great grandmother had about a dozen bottles and a few stoneware jugs in the basement, I almost fell out of my chair when she showed it to me...

I'm also showing a group pic of some other "Weiss Beers" with a nice and very rare Swinley out front, and my 3 Tiffany & Allen's. The two outside examples are the same but obviously different colors, while the middle one has a different lip treatment. These are my favorites out of all the Paterson bottles, I just love that fat body on them no matter if they are in a great color or just plain aqua...

Ah, I liked the part where you almost fell out of your chair upon seeing that unknown J.J. Post, 'must have been like seeing a ghost. And you were able to keep your composure enough to acquire it! Awesome.

These are all drop-dead gorgeous.
 

Man o man I really really like those. That is some beautiful glass.
