DETROIT TEASER ALERT

[UncleBruce]

Not a bottle but it does mention them. Got this ALTES LAGER (Detroit MI) metal sign at the BCCA Canvention 52 held in Louisville. Was found in the wall of a house 8 years ago during the home remodel. Now to find a green ALTES LAGER bottle to go with it.

I've had a couple of different Altes signs similar to that one but not that exact one. nice find. I got the Bottle to go with it if you need one? LEON.

I may have an example, Leon. I just need to dig through my PLBs first to see for sure. Thank you for the photo. It did trigger my memory.

Leon, What does the bottle cap have printed on it?

It's to rusty to read but one of these? LEON.

Charles Ford also has a bottle with a label and cap. His cap looks like the bottom right cap that is cut off in your photo.

Have the GREEN BOTTLE now to go with the sign. Just need a cap for the bottle. Not going to hold my breath on that one.
