Amethyst colored glass The Home Brewing Co. beer bottle Indianapolis IND

Description

Hello and Welcome This is a THE HOME BREWING COMPANY crown top beer bottle.From Indianapolis Indiana. This bottle is speical because of the amethyst hue to the antique glass. During World War one we had a embargo that kept us from importing the mineral used to turn glass colorless called  manganese. By 1919 the USA was in search of another source of manganese instead fund another way to manufacture coloerless glass. This helps to date this bottle crossed checked with Fremount Glass Company of Fremount Indiana which I know made Inapolis strait side soda bottles during 1905-192o era using the Owens  automatic. It's a nice bottle no chips no cracks. This not average bber bottle maybe included in a bottle bundle reducing it's price.
