But that index only works if it's a medicine bottle...which at least the 
last 2 listed (by Larry) are not.  But it's still a good link to know about 
Allen.  :o)

The 2nd bottle mentioned was made by (Caspar) H(ermann) Heye Glass 
Works...in Germany.  Some bottles are marked BREMEN...while others have 
HAMBURG (the 2 different cities of manufacture).  The marking is probably 
written in English because the beer was principally for export to the US 
and/or England.

Rex Wilson's "Bottles on the Western Frontier" (pg 117) shows an example 
(mark #82) from Bremen...found at Ft. Union (NM), that was in use till 1891.

Here's the current company website History page:

I sent info about the Ellenville Glass Works yest. (Mon.)...did you get
