Hey deershed,

This bottle dates from 1901 to Prohibition, and represents a period of consolidation in the American Brewery business. The days of the smaller independent Brewery had come to an end.

"1901 Ten Boston brewers merge into Massachusetts Breweries Company, Ltd.

Sixteen Baltimore brewers consolidate into the Gottlieb-Bauernschmidt-Straus Brewing Company.

Barrel tax on beer reduced to $1.60." History of American Beer - BeerAdvocate

Brewing was conducted at the old Globe Brewery

which was on the present site of Camden Yards.
