Val Blatz bottle - 9/30/2008 12:24:27 PM    leoyaus   Posts: 1 Joined: 9/30/2008 Status: offline 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.

Blatz was a very large company and produced a very large amout of bottles making a lot of them on the more common side. The one you have is better than the normal crowns but not much. I would say around $10 for it would be about right. Nice one! _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle. Also looking for any embossed wisconsin medicines.
