This is a 1890's era Schlitz bottle I just found in the ocean, it's from when Schlitz beer was being distributed by Peter Ohmeis.
Peter Ohmeis distributed the beer out of this building (254 East 134th St., Bronx, New York), now abandoned but still displaying his name:
This is an advertisement for the beer from the 1890's when the bottle would have been in use:
Peter Ohmeis died in 1928 in NYC while Joseph Schlitz died at sea while returning home from a trip to Germany, a victim of the SS Schiller, which wrecked and sank off the coast of Scilly in 1875.
In situ:
The bottle reads "Trade Mark Schlitz Registered P. M. Ohmeis & Co. Sole Agents New York"
