Hi and welcome to the forum marylandbottler.

My oldest bottles are a few black beers and a pickle from around the 1840's, we don't really get much before the 1850's in Victoria Oz.

Welcome Maryland,
I'm not sure which is my oldest bottle but this one has to be close. Any information that might help put an age on it or help with it's origin would be appreciated.

In Wisconsin bottles there really isn't that much before 1860. Here is a late 1860's clay beer from a tiny brewer named F.Schwarz out of Milwaukee. I just got this one, and love it!

Dont see many super old bottles here in Ontario, the oldest you get is 1850s, late, if that. MY oldest is one I dug circa 1876-1879. Its a nice Ontario brewery, embossed "M.Bixel/Lager Beer/Strathroy"
