M. F. Keeler Beer Bottle (1880s)

This Keeler beer bottle has a blob top that dates it to the mid to late 1880s. The neat thing about the Keeler bottles is there are so many color variants, honey amber, amber, and even a greenish amber color. Produced by the Clyde Glass Works, Clyde, NY. The Keeler bottles are quite sought after at bottle shows, selling for $40 - $50, depending on condition (no chips or cracks) and color. 

Found this bottle in my backyard while preparing flower beds.
