So I cam across this one today, it needs a good cleaning but doesn't seem to be cracked or chipped. Has A.B.G.M Co X11 on the bottom, this bottle is VERY dark, almost black! stuck a flashlight on the backside and could hardly see the light. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Nice beer, that trademark dates it from 1886-1905, probably pre-1895. Unfortunately it isn't worth much unless Adolphus Busch is spelled out.
