Pabst Tonic Label
I picked this label up over the weekend. I am interested in knowing anything about it regarding value, age, etc.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
Just before prohibition or after. The label says pabst brewing which was a no no during prohibition. It also says breweries like the O/I's so I think late 1930's

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
I still believe the Brewing thing is wrong. I've got items from that time with the word Brewing. My theory is that in the beginning of prohibition company's changed their name but when near beer was allowed they went back to Brewing. I've never been able to find any articles to validate it.

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
I would bet later, 50's more likely. Shows contents in metric and has the "Manfactured in the United States of America." You tended to see that on later 50's cans

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
I'm guessing it was made for export in the 1940's. LEON.

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
The label comes on a steinie and the steinie didn't come in to play until post prohibition so I'm saying 30's or 40's. Definitely NOT 19th century!
Looking for Illinois, Missouri and Texas steinie bottles. Looking for US stubby bottles produced between 1936 - 1941. Looking for ACL beer bottles. looking for St Louis area cans and certain Chicago area flat top cans. Holy Grail bottles are Old Albuquerque stubby from Albuquerque, Wagner Beer steinie(1937) from Granite City, Ill. and Goldcrest 51 steinie, Schepps Stubby, White Rose Stubby both from Dallas

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
The only reason it does not say withdrawnfree of tax for exportation is because like the other label sez in link. Non Taxable since non Alcohol. If the other link thinks it's 1889 I have to Disagree. LEON.
P.S. Heres what another 1940(s) Pabst Label looks like that Also sez 35.5 Centiliters & Made in USA.

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
Brad, how do you know the label comes on a steinie? Do you have a picture or an actual bottle with the label on it?bradflinders wrote:The label comes on a steinie and the steinie didn't come in to play until post prohibition so I'm saying 30's or 40's. Definitely NOT 19th century!
Apparently there is a discrepancy between some of the RB members and the Milwaukee County Historical Society.
I am leaning toward it being a 1930's or 40's bottle label, but would like to be sure. Maybe some other people can chime in.

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
Maybe someone can date it using the perforations on the label. Here is a pic showing the perforations from the back side of it.
I know some labels are easily dated with their perforations, but I can't make sense out of these.......Also, here is a link to a Pabst Tonic bottle listed as being from the 1920's............................Note it is from Premier Pabst of Milwaukee, which would pre-date this label being from Pabst?

I have that label in the steinie also. I fully agree with Brad, that is not 19th century...

Re: Pabst Tonic Label
I think we are all in agreement that this is not an 1889 label. Thanks for all of your input and especially for the steinie pictures Brad. Err, I mean Gallons Walters, for posting pictures of Brad's steinie.
