I found this sweet BIM early tooled crown top Coors Quart bottle with big bubbles throughout in Quartzite, AZ. It was under a tent being sold with a bunch of other ABM bottles. I've never seen one. I don't collect beers but had to have this one. I can't find an EBay listing or any other reference to this Quart bottle online. I'm thinking late 1890's to about 1905? Has additional very small block letter embossing along seam of bottom cup that says "C Q CO 936 B.

I don't think it's from late 1890's to 1905. Probably after that time period. LEON.

Hand tooled neck finish so I know its not ABM. How late do you think Coors was doing this? They were manufacturing their own bottles during the period I mention.

Not to many people were making crown tops in 1890's. Rare but possible. It could be 1900-1905 or could be 1905-1910. Not everybody jumped straight to the ABM when it came out, was sometimes a slow transition. The first crown tops seam to have smaller thinner round lip at very top. No way to say for sure. LEON.

Your pic was sideways, had to turn to get better look. Compare a abm quart Coors top lip to this one, see if any differance. LEON.View attachment 176916

CoorsTop.jpgsunrunner, If he didn't want to hear after 1905 he's not going to like 1917. LEON.
