Found this guy on the surface at the tail end of an otherwise unsuccessful hunt. Funny when the best finds are eyeballed. Thought it was a modern malt liquor bottle at first cause of the condition. Was also unaware that Shlitz even made regular beer. It dates from 1890-1910 and the manufacture location is embossed, Charleston, SC where I found it which is pretty cool. I took a photo of it with another late 1800s Charleston bottle found last year. Enjoy!

Nice! I only have one pre prohibition Schlitz. It is a little different than the one you found though. Clear with blob top and different logo.

Beauties! Collector's item for sure, at least for me. Is it a rare one? I know only a bit on U.S. antique beer bottles. Thank you for showing.
