Frederick William Jessen was born in Germany in 1852 and died in Charleston,SC
in 1923. He is buried in Bethany Cemetery in Charleston. He owned a brewrey in
Charleston and bottled beer for his saloons and Budweiser. The Jessen bottle is from 1888. F.W. was my Great Uncle.
Thanks,Harold Jessen

Hello Harold,

Thanks for coming to A-BN with this news. Do you have a large collection of your Great Uncle's bottles and ephemera? I noticed he had both a large "J," and a smaller "J" on some bottles, as the central logo. What more can you tell us of his life and career?

Have you got photos of him?

Thanks.

The bottle is most likely from the late 1870'-80's and may be a soda, beer or water bottle....Jim...it has some condition
issues but it's still a nice bottle

Was just on google looking for this bottle and I should have known it would lead me here lol. Anyway here is a very sickly example of his Anheuser Busch. Bad cell phone pics to boot.
