Schlitz Bottle

[BF109]

I found this Schlitz bottle years ago and it's been up in the attic until I thought of it the other day. I'm curious as to when it was made if anyone knows. I don't think it's very old, I'd guess 60s or 70s. Looks like it holds about 12 oz. A keeper or junk? Thanks!

Looks earlier than the 60s to me. A photo of the base would better help to date it.

This is just a guess based on the bottle looking like a machine made crown top. 1915-1920ish or possibly late 1930s. Marks on the bottle could help.
There is a dedicated following for the SCHLITZ brewing company bottles. Still this bottle is a shoulder embossed, which decreases the demand a bit. I will say this embossing is a bit different than the normal. Don't know if the helps, but it is more attractive. I can see several fisheye cracks on the bottle to and that hurts the value too. If it were mine I wouldn't throw it away.

Yeah, found it at a demolition site so it was knocked around a bit. I'll hang onto it, it is kinda cool. Thank you!

I would guess the 30’s

I would guess time frame anywhere from around 1905-1919. Pre Prohibition. By 1933 after repeal of Prohibition embossed Beer Bottles bottles were replaced with Paper Labels. I have hundreds & hundreds of Beer Bottles from 1933-1950's & all are Paper Label with no embossing. Only other option could be Prohibition (1919-1932) but unlikely but possible. LEON.

I wouldn't say it's junk.
Reminds me of an old University party.

Thanks LEON I didn't see it before but if this is a date code you nailed it. Could this "2 12" near the base mean February 1912? Hmmm
