Hi all,
This is the latest addition to my collection, a rare variation of Fosters Beer.
The embossing reads THE FOSTER BREWING Co Ltd LAGER BEER with an F trade mark in a diamond border on a square sholdered (as apposed to sloping) wine shaped bottle , it's in mint condition.
The Foster brewing co started in 1888 and then became part of C.U.B in 1907, with the embossing on this one it dates from 1889 to 1897 according to the info in Keith Deutsher's book "The Brewerys of Australia" (exellent book BTW).
I'm very pleased with this one [] , it's caused a bit of a stir amounst some of the beer bottle collectors already [] .
