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.

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 or 1960s 12 ounce, 9" Dab German Import Beer beer bottle brewed by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei in Dortmund, West Germany.

According to the neck label, this beer was imported by Beverage Distributors Inc. in Cleveland, OH.

Beer bottles are pretty rare to begin with, particularly compared to cans, and this bottle is much more difficult to find than most beer bottles.

The bottom of this bottle has a mark which is almost certainly the manufacturer, but haven't been able to find a good source for European glass manufacturer marks and we trust this bottle would've been manufactured somewhere in Europe.

There is also a 58 on the bottom which typically is the date code and may indicate when the bottle was manufactured.

Both of the labels are in really nice overall condition with really minor wear.  The bottle itself is also in excellent vintage condition with no case wear.  In case you didn't notice, the main label looks to have been put on tilted slightly to the left.

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!
