Fredonia Bottling Wks?

Just wondering if anyone has any idea of the age or history of this ginger beer bottle? I can’t seem to find any info on the web.

Pretty cool bottle. I found some generic information about ceramic/ stoneware bottles at the site below. Pretty much gives you the dates. I'll keep researching.

In 1910 the Fredonia Bottling Works was owned by W. C. Brown. In 1920 the company is reported as having only two employees.
The book Ginger Beer and Root Beer Heritage - 1790 to 1930 by Donald and Elizabeth Yates, lists only three stoneware ginger beer bottles with transfers from Kansas.

Thanks to you both! I have always liked stoneware bottles, and have quite a few, but it seems ones made in the US are not nearly as common as the imported bottles.
