Here is a bottle I have not been able to identify. The bottle was manufactured by D. O. Cunningham Glass (D.O.C. 312 on heel), has an embossed figure of Lady Liberty holding an eagle in her right hand and a staff or sword in her left, with wheat around her, "TRADE MARK" beneath her, there is a U.S. Pat. Date of 1907 on the heel also. The bottle is blown in a mold by mouth with a hand tooled crown top and is aqua blue. I have also found this amber glass shard with the same image and the letters GCO (I reckon from BREWING COMPANY). I estimate the dating between 1907 and 1915. Any idea?

Looks like the OLD GERMAN BREWING CO.

I'll tell you what sir, I have been searching this image for 2 years. I believe you are correct. The only differences I see are the eagle instead of a torch and the surrounding wheat but the style is the same. I have found this brewery was open from 1901 until 1917 which is in my date range. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated.
