While renovating our home (built in 1908) we came across an old beer bottle. Clear glass (greenish tint) molding seam does not continue through lip, bottom has “W F & S MIL” (Wm. Franzen and Sons, Milwaukee), back of bottle has” THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF VAL BLATZ BREWING CO”, front of bottle has six-point star with superimposed VB logo inside, “Val Blatz” name in script, and “BREWING CO MILWAUKEE” BELOW. Estimated date between 1896 (W.F. & S start date) and 1908 (home built). Seeking comments of any type.
