Sauer's Extract Bottle.

Above is a Sauer's Extract bottle I found, probably from the 1920s or thereabouts.  I haven't narrowed the date range down yet but should be able to do that before long.

Embossing on Sauer's Extract Bottle.

It isn't a rare bottle, and unfortunately there is no glass maker's mark on the bottom.  The maker's mark often helps narrow down the date of a bottle. 

Below is a part of an ad that shows the same type of bottle with the paper label in place.

Trade Mark Registered Bottle

Front and back reads: BEAFONT, TRADE MARK REGISTERED.

This is a mystery bottle.  I've seen it described as a beer bottle and a soda bottle.  I haven't been able to positiveley identify it, though,  From what I've read, it could be a soda water bottle.

BEAUFONT COMPANY INC., RICHMOND VA

It seems the springs in the area were first used for brewing and then could have been used for other purposes.  Below is what I found.


Home Brewing, under the guidance of Fred "Fritz" Sitterding Sr., survived the national prohibition of alcohol by producing soft drinks and bottling drinking water in pre-filtration Richmond. By 1916, Sitterding purchased the Beaufont Lithia Springs company that produced water from springs at Beaufont (approximately where the Chesterfield Towne Center is today).

Sitterding used the verdant acreage as a family gathering place and for public rental. In 1926, he renamed the water division the Beaufont, but by 1932, public water treatment lessened the demand for bottled water. Instead, a different thirst required quenching...

Embossed Consumers Brewing Co. Bottle.

Consumers Brewing Co. opened in 1890 and closed in 1902 it was open for 12 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. Our information indicates that Consumers Brewing Co. was the only brewery that was located in Rosslyn, VA sometimes this means that items from a brewery will have extra value in the area it comes from because there are not other sources for local breweriana.

Consumer's Brewing Company Bottle.


A little research revealed that the Consumer's Brewery Company, as it is embossed, existed from 1895 until 1902, when it became the Arlington Brewing Company.  That makes the bottle older than I originally thought.
