1870ishAny known info on this bottle? Date range? Manufacturer? Found in South texas. Thanks for ur time guys
Just outside Victoria. These beer bottles are tricky when they are slick. I found an old old Valentin Blatz beer bottle in the same area. That one traveled some distance to get down here.Hard to tell without provenance, I have also collected in S Texas, by San Antonio.
Where did you find this in south Texas? Most of the bottles I’ve found in the San Antonio area I’ve been able to date due to the town they were found in, bodies of water, etc. I have a hunch though, your bottle is from the very early 1900s. It’s very hard to find things older then that down here, and your bottle looks like it’s a BIMAL
If you'd like to sell that Blatz I would be interested in it. It's a great bottle.Just outside Victoria. These beer bottles are tricky when they are slick. I found an old old Valentin Blatz beer bottle in the same area. That one traveled some distance to get down here.
Possibly, it's a little sandblasted from being in the river tho. What's ur budget for a bottle like this?If you'd like to sell that Blatz I would be interested in it. It's a great bottle.
The Blatz is an awesome one, older variant too. Victoria was around for the majority of the 19th century and saw a big population influx before places like San Antonio, which didn’t blow up till about 1910.Just outside Victoria.

Yessir, thank you for the history lesson. Just not much info online about these older bottles. I'm gonna dm youThe Blatz is an awesome one, older variant too.

At a second look with some context, Bruce is probably right, 1870s-80s is my guess. Great age for not being a Galveston or Houston bottle. I wish I would’ve known you were in S Texas before, we could’ve dug together!
