Found these two Beer Bottles. - 7/9/2008 8:31:44 PM    BeachComber   Posts: 45 Joined: 12/10/2007 Status: offline Hey guys,     I was out diving a few days ago and i was into some 1910 - 1920s kinda stuff. I was finding all sorts of things such as inks, medecines, codds and then i found these two crown top beers. The fist bottle on the left in the pic is embossed with Becks Buffalo NY. It is pink glass and has 13 fl. oz embossed on the base. The second beer bottle to the right in the pic is embossed with Jacob Ruppert's New York Lager Beer (trade mark R logo). On the bottom is embossed "this bottle is registered not to be sold". This bottle is amber. They are both in great condition, no cracks chips nothing.    I have tried looking on the internet and several books of mine and i have found nothing on these bottles. Would anyone have any sort of info on these bottles? Date, value, history etc. Thanks for looking.  Attachment (1) < Message edited by BeachComber -- 7/9/2008 8:33:34 PM > Post #: 1
