ED. THIELEPAPE PREMIUM LAGER BEER CHICAGO

[Lookn4Seated]

I found this bottle in an area where I've been pulling a lot of mid 1800's to early 1900's coins, and when trying to do an internet search on it, I can't seem to find any bottles like this. I tried different antique bottle sites, but couldn't find this one.

It is embossed "ED. THIELEPAPE PREMIUM LAGER BEER CHICAGO" on the front, and "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD" on the back, with a "2" on the bottom of it. It is an aqua bottle (that looks to have prism colors in the right light) and measures 9" tall and weighs in at 15.69 ozs

Since I am new to bottle collecting, I would appreciate any assistance I can get in the I.D/ Origin of this bottle. Maybe someone knows of a website that they can direct me to. Thanks Again for the help and Happy Diggin'

Awesome bottle dude! I have been looking to start collecting chicago brewery bottles to put my own homebrew in. I have a book on chicago breweries. I will look it up when I get home. Any interest in selling it?

Hey seated - you may have something very unique there. Out of 200+ Chicago breweries listed in my book, this one does not come up. I will check the Siebel archives next time I am at Goose.

This is the first of its kind I ever found... Though I think this area may have many more old bottles. If I find another one, you can have it. I'm sure you wouldn't sell it and you'll probably appreciate it more than I. You are our local brew master.

Hey, maybe one of these days I'll take you up to this spot and you can try your luck.

I would be honored to spend some time in your bottle dump! I would definitely not sell them. Only fill them with beer and try to carry on the legacy of those who brewed here 150 years before us... cheers!
