goebel beer bottle

[macnife]

Can anyone date this bottle for me? Only information I can find on Goebel beer bottle are the ones that have paper labels. I don't think this one did, since the wording is molded in the bottle. I am a newbie at this as well to this site, so please forgive me if I use inproper terms. The bottle is a little over 9 inches tall, and reads: Pure Food, Goebel, Beer, Registered, Detroit. (I never knew beer was part of the food group!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Judi

There should be a mold seam on the side of the bottle if it stops befor the top of the bottle its probably before 1915 or older. If it goes to the top through the crown top lip it could be as new as 1950. I am sure someone who knows more will give you some more accurate info soon.I am fairly new to this also.

So this label would go over the embossed design on the bottle? It would be great to see a picture of a bottle with the label on it.
