[bcboy]

Hi there, I was bottle digging yesterday and I managed to dig up this bottle that has DAI NIPPON BREWERY CO,LTD embossed on the bottom and TRADE MARK embossed on the top. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this bottle. Here is tht video of me digging this bottle up.
Thanks

We find allot of these in Hawaii.
It appears that the one you have there is BIMAL
We used to often pull these out of ABM dumps from the late teens to early 30's - which looks like about the right age for the dump you're digging.
My guess is that the Japanese manufacturers didn't go ABM until much later than their US counterparts
