I am not done, just absent with the craze of life for a while. I am still on the hunt for all things Pabst from Hamilton! I hope I have not offended anyone by not answering. I apologize if I have. It was not my intention.
Hi Jpabst, I came across a couple green bottles of J Pabst and Sons Co. Hamilton OH. One of them bares the mark of Owens-Illinois bottle manufacturer with a date of 1931and it was made to almost the exact specifications of the other bottle which I believe to be an earlier piece. It does not bare an Owens-Illinois mark and only shows an N27 leading me to believe it’s 1927. This particular bottle has slightly fatter embossed lettering and just a few other not so noticeable details making it clearly from a different manufacturer and it’s interesting that when Owens Illinois took over the manufacturing of the bottle that they made the firsts ones as identical in design as the earlier bottle that was already in use. I know Owens Illinois merged from two companies in 1929 and started producing bottles under the merged company’s in and around 1930. With a single digit date code representing the 30s. With 1 being 1931 and so on, until the 1940s in which the would put a period after the single digit such as 4. Being 1944 and around 1946 they realized that would become in issue in the decades to come they switched to a 2 digit date code. And the date is the digit to the right of the makers mark. Which of course is an “I” inside an “O” inside a Diamond. So these are two very significant bottles one being the start of the Owens-Illinois era and the earlier being J Pabst And Sons example before O-I took over production. And if you don’t know you would think they are the same. My brother went bottle hunting for several years and has a massive collection that’s sat untouched for years and tasked me to start listing them on eBay. Upon looking up these bottles your post came up though it looks to be a few years old if your still interested in theses pieces you can reply or email me at bakermarcus50@yahoo.com. Below I’ll attach some images
