Description

We go to estate sales regularly and come across a wide array of unique and rare items.  We add to our growing online inventory daily.  We pick up new items from all over the world and all over the US.  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.

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 1960s 12 ounce, 9 1/2"Fort Pitt Beer beer bottle brewed by the Fort Pitt Brewing Co. in Smithton, PA.
The Fort smith Brewing Co. went out of business in 1957.  We know the Gunther Brewing Co. bought the company, but then Gunther Brewing was purchased by the Hamm's Brewing Co. in 1960.  The brand was then bought by F & M Schaefer Brewing Co. in 1963 and in 1981 Schaefer was acquired by Stroh Brewing Co.
This bottle has 71 on the bottom of it which typically indicated the year of bottle manufacture, so we trust this bottle dates to the early 1970s when the company was still owned by Schaefer Brewing Co.
The bottom of this bottle has a B inside of a circle which was the mark used by the Brockway Glass Co.
Both of the labels are in very nice overall condition with very minor to no wear.
The bottle itself is also in excellent vintage condition with no case wear.
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!
