Pfeiffer Beer Blotter Age Question

[VernorsGuy]

I’m hoping the bottles pictured on this Pfeiffer blotter will help identify the age. They started brewing in 1892. I know it was still C. Pfeiffer in the 1910s. I was hoping to narrow down the date. There’s no date on the blotter. Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is just my opinion of the age. Base on the kind of bottles shown I'm going to say around 1900ish plus or minus a few years. That as close as I can estimate. Crown tops were patented in 1892. Would have taken time before they gained popularity.

My Guess is 1902-1912. Leon.

P.S. I just drove by that Brewery Yesterday.

They have telephone numbers, so that might indicate a date range.

Telephones were brought to Detroit in 1877. I feel PFIEFFER would have had them earlier than most as would most businesses.

With those phone #'s I can pinpoint the dates to 1911-1913. LEON.
