We also have a growing customer wish list. If you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know what you collect and/or need. We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list.We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly, so check back often.
There is always a Sale by TheBay!
We just came across three vintage beer cases, a Schoenling, Carling Black Label and Stroh's Bohemian Lager, all full of vintage beer bottles. We ended up with 72 different bottles, both imported and domestic. All of the bottles date from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. We come across cans quite often, but beer bottles are quite a bit more rare. Most of the bottles are free of case wear on the glass and the labels are in very nice condition with hardly any wear on any of them.
If beer bottles are your thing, feel free to check the others out and we do combine shipping based quoted price from each of the three major carriers based on the size and weight of the box. The bottles all weigh more than one pound when packed for shipping, so they can't go first class. With that said, it would certainly be more cost effective to buy multiple bottles with combined shipping to reduce the average shipping cost per bottle.
Now onto the item for sale.
For sale is a 1950s Prior Lager Beer 12 ounce, 9 1/2" beer bottle brewed by the Adam Scheidt Brewing Co. in Norristown, PA.
The ASBC was only around until 1960, so we know this bottle can't date to any later than that.
The bottom of the bottle has Ball on it which obviously the mark for the Ball Brothers Glass Mfg. Co. in Muncie, IN. There is also a 55 on the bottom which was typically the date code for the year of manufacture. Given the above information, we thinks it's safe to say that this bottle was originally filled in 1955 or very shortly thereafter.
The labels are in really nice overall condition with really minor wear on either label, but we trust they're a little dirtier than they were originally.
The bottle itself is also in excellent vintage condition with moderate case wear as seen in the pictures above.
Unfortunately, this beer bottle will weigh more than one pound when packed for shipping, so it can't go first class.
We offer several shipping options, just make your selection upon checkout.
Truth be told, it would be much more cost effective to purchase several beer bottles and save on shipping per bottle since we only charge for the additional weight as quoted by the three carriers and you select which one you prefer.
Thanks for looking and God bless!
