today's luch hour find

Hi Folks,

BEER!

I found this bottle today in my usual place. I had been finding some newer bottles (1940s) but this one appears (to me – but what do I know) to be older. The glass is somewhat wavy and there are trapped air bubbles in it. The seam stops at the neck.

I’m posting this in the pre-1900 forum, but perhaps that is just wishful thinking.

Obviously, this is an Schlitz bottle. Above the brand name is embossed ‘HOHMAN & BARLETT’ and below is ‘MANCHESTER, N.H.’.

Above this is the word ‘REGISTERED’.

The bottom of the bottle is embossed with the number ‘32’.

Any information, especially age, would be appreciated?

Thanks,

Batfish

Now you're getting it.
It's a blob top beer from the late 1800's.
Sounds like you're on to something.

Thanks Woody,

Do these things have any value at all? I'm still looking for my first bottle with a positive net worth!

They'd be valuable to a local beer bottle collector from Manchester, NH.
The more valuable ones will have a mug base on the bottom of the bottle and come in other colors besides clear glass and aqua.
