Frank Fehr Brewing Co. opened in 1890 and closed in 1901 it was open for 11 years. Items from breweries of this age tend to be more common and less valuable than some breweries. Early items can still be valuable as can rarer types of items. As a Pre-Prohibition Brewery, any advertising items or collectibles are likely to be valuable and desirable to collectors as they tend to be hard to find. Frank Fehr Brewing Co. was in an active brewing city. Louisville, KY was listed as having 37 breweries, which is quite a few. Sometimes a large number of breweries can lead to an active collecting community that will be willing to pay more for breweriana items than other collectors.

I am not sure of the glass manufacturer.

If it is SB & G, here is what glassblottlemarks.com says.

• S.B.& G.CO…………………….Streator Bottle & Glass Company, Streator, Illinois (1881-1905).  The Streator plant eventually became part of the American Bottle Company, then later Owens Bottle Company, and finally part of the Owens Illinois Glass Company (Plant #9).  “S.B.& G.CO.” is one of the most commonly seen marks on handblown beer bottles from the late 1800s and early 1900s.  Many, many private brewers and bottlers from the Midwest and eastern United States had bottles specially made for them by Streator.  The mark is also seen on other bottles of the period, including pickle bottles, soda bottles and other containers.

This bottle is broken and badly hazed but still tells a lot.
