Schlitz Bottle

[BF109]

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

Thanks embe, I've definitely decided to keep it. I didn't think it was older than 60s but looks like I was wrong. Found some numbers on it that might be a date code, take a look and see what you think... thanks!

Schlitz also once had those "Ruby Red" (colored glass) ones.

I don't know if the 12 is the date code or not, but I agree with Leon that it's pre-Prohibition. The base is pretty consistent with 1900s-1910s bottles.

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!

Hi, Go on the internet and type in "Those Royal Ruby Beer Bottles by Robert Jaeger," and you will find a great article on the subject.

I would estimate 1910-1920ish. Maybe late 1930s, but I don't think so. Maybe HEMIHAMPTON will weigh in on this one too.

the WF&S makers mark should put it at around 1896-1900? LEON.
