Old Style “Lion” Label
Mark W. Rummel posted this photo on March 8, 2013 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”. He said “Interesting question: This “Old Style Beer” label is for sale today on eBay. It was a Sebewaing Brewing Company product, I’d say from the early 1940s (due to the “Internal Revenue Tax Paid” line, which was common after Prohibition ended.)
My question: Did anyone know the Brewery made a 32 oz product? That’s the size bottle this label was placed on. I never knew this. I thought all bottles were brown glass 12 oz. long necks then (followed by shorties which were also 12 oz., in the early 1960s.) So this was kinda like a family size bottle, I guess. What was “Old Style” anyway? Does anyone have other ideas?”
Here are the comments from the post:
Arlene Nimtz Schweitzer I have the bottle cap that goes with this.
Mark W Rummel Wow, Arlene, very neat. I just didn’t know much about Old Style. I had heard the name but am not familiar, especially the 32 oz size bottle.
William Harder Huron county also had quartz bottles to I see more of the 32 oz then I do of the 12 oz lion bottles which one is more rare u can pick up a lot of the labels at us beer labels dot com for the third of the price
William Harder I won it
Thank you to Mark W. Rummel for posting the photo and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.
