A wonderful rare find! L. Beard, Boston, Mass., stoneware merchants beer bottle signed and dated 1853 on the front. The bottle is in very good condition considering it\'s 165 year old age and measures 10\" tall. As you can see, there are a couple of firing pops, one above the \"R\" in the name. A few minor chips and a couple scratches but no hairlines or cracks. A chip inside the spout is most likely from removing the cork; also small chip on the back and 2 on the bottom. Please study the photos for condition which is very good. If you need more photos, I will be glad to provide them.

Any questions, please let me know. Please pay within 3 days of sale end.
