Just picked this up today. I thought it was kinda odd. It's a 7 1/2oz soda embossed Frank Jennings Louisiana MO. The lip is what I thought was odd. It's embossed Registered Patented Pride. Unsure what type of closure it had. Any Ideas?
Thanks, Steve
Thanks sunrunner. I wasn't aware of the other cities you mentioned as l only collect St. Louis and surrounding areas. This is the first Illinois Weiss beer for me though. I couldn't find it on Bruce Mobley's web site therefore I'm thinking it maybe a bit scarce.
I picked this up at the flea today. It does have some damage but for $2.00 I wasn't going to leave it there. For now it will sit on my shelf until a better one comes along, after I clean it of coarse. I assume it was a Weiss beer. Common?, Scarce? Rare? Thanks for any info. I did a google search...
Yes, pint size it is. I will be happy to give you first shot at a duplicate, if that ever happens. I didn't even notice the variation at first. Now I will have to check more of my embossed beers. Thanks again.

That's very interesting Scott, I had no idea they had just a depot in KC. I guess that is the reason for using the word BEER instead of BREWERY...Now I will have to keep an eye out for an embossed Quincy Ill. Bottle. I was very surprised to get this for five dollars in this condition (no cracks...
I've been trying to find info on this bottle for a friend. It was his grandfathers. He had just sent me some pictures. I asked him about a seam and he doesn't see one. He would be happy with any info at all. Thanks in advance!

Added a couple more bottles from the flea market today. The B-1 is probably common, unsure about the Pepsi from Willow Springs Mo.? The price was right though.
Thanks for the info guys! I found the Town Crier in an antique shop in Alton ILL. about a month ago for $12.00. I broke my own rule of spending over $10.00 for a bottle, but I had to have it. I'm sure I'll end up breaking that rule again once I am familiar with whats out there. I think there are...
Thought of posting some of my acl finds for my new collection. I know most are common but it is fun adding to them! They are all Missouri bottles mostly St. Louis and surrounding areas. All are pre zip code and cost me from $.50 to $5.00 each except one, which I had to pay $12.00 for. I have yet...
