Moxie began in the late 1800s as a medicinal tonic marketed to treat nervous disorders and fatigue before later becoming the famous New England soft drink brand. Early bottles like this were distributed nationwide and are now sought after for their deep embossing, distinctive aqua glass color, and connection to one of America’s most iconic patent medicines. This example features crisp lettering and classic early glass characteristics with a tooled lip and sturdy base.
The bottom of the bottle carries the “B G” maker’s mark for Brockway Glass Company, a major American glass manufacturer that produced these bottles during the height of Moxie’s popularity. Production for this variant is generally attributed to the late 1890s through early 1900s, making it a genuine piece of turn-of-the-century advertising history.
The bottle displays beautifully with strong embossing that catches light well, particularly when backlit, highlighting the rich aqua tone typical of early American bottle glass. A solid addition to collections focused on antique medicine bottles, embossed advertising glass, apothecary bottles, or early American soda and tonic history.
