The Dick Brewery, Bucyrus Ohio

[jgas]

Found this bottle in a C. 1900/1890 pit and cannot find too much about it. Maybe someone from Ohio might know. The embossing on the front has me intrigued. What the heck is the two hand thing clutching?

I wonder how rare these are as well?? Thanks for any help on this one. jgas

From Rando44001
I was out mushroom hunting today and found a broken bottle, blue in color the bottle was made by Bucyrus Ohio Brewing company nothing else I looked into this and found only it was established in 1890, or 1900's. I also found and old porcelain plate with a English stamping made by John Maddock and Sons I believe they are still in business? no shrooms yet?
I live 20 miles from Bucyrus Ohio Looking for more after rain.

Hey jgas,

Nice one, sir. I can't get a good view on the branches in hand, but bet'cha they are hops. Is this a Looper?

Bruce Mobley does not have this one in his collection: THE DICK BREWERY

The little bit of information that I found is all TOC. In 1902 he had 12 employees: Annual Report - Ohio. Dept. of Inspection of Workshops, Factories and Public Buildings including one boy between 15 & 18, who worked 10 hours a day. The employees were paid weekly. The location is listed at North Railroad St.
