I recently found a stash of old beer bottles underwater near the possible site of 19th century tavern here on Whidbey Island Washington. From what I have been able to determine the bottles[attachment=R Bottle.JPG] were manufactured from 1870 to 1910. There is a "R" embossed on the bottom. I have not been able to find any reference to any bottler using this logo but I suspect that it might be an early Ranier Beer bottle. I'll send another email with a photo of the bottom of the bottle. Any information would be appreciated.
