653. Eureka. Eureka. Extremely rare Aqua Blob Top Soda Bottle. H. Maw & Co/Eureka/Nevada. Chip on base ring just left of raised lettering. Overall clean and in mint condition. The MAW bottle is a mis-spelling of MAU. Mau had problems with Pacific Glass Works in San Francisco and others when he ordered goods with his name on it. Undoubtedly, SFGW interpreted a handwritten "Mau" as "Maw". The same thing happened with the tokens he used for his saloons in Eureka, Ruby Hill, and Hamilton. Mau's name was mis-spelled "Man" several times. Mau bought the San Francisco Brewery in Eureka in 1881 after owning a saloon there for several years. His partner was Fred Heitman, who remained his partner until Mau died in 1888. In 1883, Mau opened a soda works at the brewery, which lasted until he died. Very few of these bottles are known to exist. Many years ago, Bob Mackay in Eureka gave me a bucket full of the MAW bottles all with the tops purposefully broken off that he had found in one hole, without having found a whole one. I gave those broken bottles out to Nevada collectors long ago. None of the MAW bottles are known in lime green or light blue. Est. $1000-1500
