I found these two old crown top bottles today. I tried to search United States Beverage Co but just got modern results.... The US Beverage bottle is marked "ROOT" on the bottom....

They are machine made beer bottles.
Not all that old.
Cool find... look a little deeper and you might fine the old stuff.
Good luck

The ROOT mark is early 1900's from what little I could find... so fairly old... I don't usually keep crown tops unless they have interesting old labels or embossing

First fully automated bottle machine 1903, other machine used late1890s. So most likely early 1900s at the earliest

Yeah and it seems it was a 2 parts mold, so beginning of the 1900 to 1920ish
