Bottle ID help?
« on: December 16, 2015, 06:13:52 pm »
I found this bottle wedged deep in the
rocks down by the creek.
It doesn't look to old but it's not a twist top.
Maybe a pickel jar of some type.
Pretty small for that though.
Any ideas?
Thanks Zuma

Some old snuff bottles resembled that, but were not identical. That could have been a different brand.

Looks like an old Mickey's beer bottle to me.

Mickey's "hand grenade", malt liquor.
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Wow! nothing gets by you guys :)
It really does look like a grenade
now that you mention it.
Any idea of the vintage?
I'll do some googleing.
I was hoping the moss covered
fire ring nearby could be abo but
I bet it's from the Mickey's malt
crew. I'll let you all know.
Thanks a bunch fellas.

Thanks guys :)
Search for images of Mickey's malt grenade bottles for sale
I hope the link works. It shows my bottle with a big fat cork in it.
What a waste of beer.   Worth $5 bucks. I bet a whole six pack
didn't cost that much back then.

PS I drank Falstaff from Clovis to Las Vegas and back in those days. >:D
