So, I came across this forum when I was researching a bottle I pulled out of the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The bottle is from the M. Burkhardt Brewing Company, which was in operation from 1902 to 1918. Not sure when this bottle was actually made, but I assume it's been in the river behind my home for better than 100 years. Here's some photos:

It was made by the Rhodes Glass & Bottle Company from Massillon, Ohio which dates it from 1901-c.1919. Unfortunately that's pretty much the same years the brewery was in business.
