Description

Pale green glass bottle with paper label for Harpers Ferry Brewing Company. Bottle appears to have been shot and glued back together. The circular label is printed with a red border that reads: HARPERS FERRY BREWING COS. PURE LAGER BEER. Inside the red border is a blue circle with white text that reads: GUARANTEED TO BE BREWED FROM CHOICEST BOHEMIAN HOPS AND CANADA BARLEY MALT. BOTTLED AT THE BREWERY. HARPER'S FERRY, W.VA. [Note: Much of this text is physically missing due to tears in the label, but has been inferred for this description]. Embossed along the bottom of the bottle (with some text below the label) is: THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD.
