Up for sale is a rare antique beer bottle from the 1880s made by Cunningham & Co., featuring the early “C&Co” mark on the base.
This example stands roughly 11.5inches tall and is made of dark brown glass, a classic color used for beer bottles of the period. It has a blob-top finish, and the mold seam stops below the lip, confirming it is mouth-blown.
Bottles with the C&Co mark are documented in limited numbers, especially compared to later Cunningham marks. Larger dark brown examples like this are not commonly encountered, making this a desirable piece for Cunningham & Co. (C&Co base mark)

Height: Approx. 11.5 inches
Color: Dark brown

Dug bottle with expected age wear and light residue. No cracks or major damage noted. Displays very well.
This is a scarce early beer bottle with strong collector appeal due to its size, color, and early maker’s mark.
