PACIFIC CONGRESS WATER SPRINGS SARATOGA CALIFORNIA / PACIFIC CONGRESS SPRINGS on reverse with embossed running deer. Of all the jumping deer Congress Waters we’ve ever sold or have seen for that matter, this one certainly stands out as possibly the best. In fact, we sold this bottle in a 2007 auction from the Grapentine collection, and all we remember is the outrageous sum of money the buyer paid for it. Somehow we now have it safely back on our shelves and on the auction block. What makes this bottle so terrific is the fact that it lacks the often seen lip chip usually the result of an ice pick and overall is about perfect. In addition it is the only example we’ve seen in this rare olive green color. Experts will tell you lime green is the most common and so on. These have always been very popular because of the California designation clearly pointed out and all the amazing embossing and in this case, beautiful and almost impossible to find color. Grades a 9.5 with a scratch here or there, really just call it – American Bottle Auctions

Embossed sun on OBERMEYER & LIEBMANN – On November 27th 1854, a German immigrant named Samuel Liebmann purchased a brewery in Williamsburg which would become the greatest brewery in New York over the course of the next 100 years. In 1868 he retired, and in 1872 he passed away, leaving the business to his three sons, Joseph, Henry, and Charles. It is unclear which of the sons branched off to create the S. Liebmann’s Sons Brewing Co. The company was successful until 1905, when it was passed down to their grandsons. To this day, no one is sure where the name Obermeyer comes from in the companies history. – Mikes Bottle Room
