Info Wanted - 7/26/2011 2:38:13 PM    Ann S.   Posts: 5 Joined: 7/22/2011 Status: offline We just received a huge amount of diving artifacts from my late uncle, a master diver.  He has a very large quantity of bottles and we want to know more about them and possibly their value.  I'm going to post a few bottles at a time and there will be a lot more posts to come.  Here are a few samples.

They are often very very spoiled when they have been underwater for long periods of time. Secondly, to answer your question, the quart amber blob beer bottle looks (to me) like the best thing there. The Listerine and Citrate are common. What does the beer say? (in reply to Ann S.) Post #: 2

RE: Info Wanted - 7/26/2011 2:48:25 PM    Ann S.   Posts: 5 Joined: 7/22/2011 Status: offline On the front of the blob it says:  JOS. SHLITZ, BREWING COMPANY'S, CELEBRATED MILWAUKEE, EXPORT BEER, and the back says: T.E.OKEEFE, 114&116, EAST FIRST STREET, OSWEGO N.Y. The bottom says C&Co (the commas seperate each line of writing) _____________________________ I recently acquired a large collection of shipwreck artifacts, including a large quantity and variety of bottles.

Nice to point that out it's a big help. In the bottle world " / " is generally used. I'm not sure what's up with the pic now but I see it was uploaded to this site. Temporary glitch with the server I hope is all. I can't speak to the beer itself but Cunningham & Co was 1878-1907 I think so that's a rough time frame and a desirable period for Schlitz, _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to Ann S.)

The amber Schlitz is what we (in Milwaukee) call a 'branch' bottle. The value depends on condition and rarity. My guess is anywhere from $5 to $20 on that beer bottle.

The other should come back also, sometime. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to Ann S.) Post #: 10
