Status: offline 		This is a "Pabst" beer bottle obtained from E-bay. The listing said "slug plate" if I recall correctly but I do not think it is a slug plate----only embossed. Any help accurately dating this bottle or any other info is greatly appreciated. I hope to add several pics to include the base of the bottle and the neck in a couple of replies. Thanks again for any assistance you can give me with this one.

Status: offline 		Thank you. Found this E-bay item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1903-Pabst-Beer-Bottle-with-Label_W0QQitemZ120013770784QQcmdZViewItem
However noted what appears to be a different lip. Does not appear to be a crown type. Thought maybe the embossing was prior to the label? Guess that is not always the case. Thank you for your help.

no  the only thing i have added to my collection is three new ones that Joel (EPGorge) sent me

also Joel i think those simonds may be beer bottles the ladies leg makes me think beer...that ladies leg is a real beauty! Thanks Alot

for some reason the number 1903 and 07 come to mind for the Patent date for the ABM's no actual basis just what comes to mind seems like i read it somewhere.. but almost all were ABM by 1910 and i would go out on a limb and say that ALL were ABM by 1920

Status: offline 		Just about knocked this junker off the shelf today while trying to get to something else out in the garage Spencer. Its embossed  C.C.B. Co. It's from Springfield, Ohio. Has a very unusual shape at the top of the neck on the inside of the bottle, sort of a taper to it, never noticed that on a crown top of any kind before.

Status: offline 		I was out in the garage this evening trying to get to some of the jelley glasses I was telling madman about. I was squeezed into the back side of a stack of 130 bananna boxes trying to get to those blasted glasses, and behind all that is about 25 or more plastic milk crates full of bottles stacked up. I am getting to the point that even I am afraid to go out there and try doing anything anymore..........

let me know when you finally get ready...i dont have much pepsi other than the "newer" less desirable items unfortunately i would really love to get my hands on one of those Escambia pepsi's either a hutch or a SS but i would rather have the Coke hutch i like the Coca Cola Products more than the Pepsi's

let me know if i got something you want...everything has a price! i like to barter its fun!

Status: offline 		Like you, I like to trade if a fair exchange can be made between both parties. I remember when I got into the bottles years ago, a few collectors got the best of me many times when trading, giving me false info as to what they had to trade, But you will eventually learn if you get screwed over enough. And I indeed would love to have a Pepsi Hutch, but most likely will never have one of them.
