Louisville, KY - KEANE

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1860-1870 Louisville, KY Blue Soda - M. KEANE - Uncommon

This is a really nice example of this tougher southern soda. The embossing is wrapped with open block lettering. The strike is good for a block wrap soda. Very clean and appealing. The blob top is applied.

Embossed: (open block lettering) M. KEANE / THIS BOTTLE IS / NEVER SOLD / (base) K

Height: 7 5/8"  
Color: purple-hued cobalt blue

Condition: near mint - perfect structurally with no chips, cracks, bruises or dings. Very clean - looks like it was lightly pro-polished. There is spotty light wear, mainly around the base, but not really much high point wear at all. A great example.

Reference Number: BT59

Price: $250
