Description
Light shining through the dark glass bottle reminds us of the refreshing liquid once inside. The raised glass lettering is a motif of the times, and more elegant than the labels pasted on today’s bottles.The Elgin Eagle Brewing Company dates back to 1849. Their original brew came in kegs. By 1898, they had a bottling department. In 1914, a referendum was passed “drying up” Elgin Township but they continued to supply customers elsewhere. Production stopped with the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment. This object is in the Elgin History Museum collection. This image is included in the Art in Artifacts Exhibit.
