Would this have been a good bottle?

Bummed, but if wasn’t worth much than not so bummed.

Looks like it was Cut off on Purpose.
Perhaps to add a Light.

all I can find for sure, is it's a Buffalo Brewing Company (Sacramento, CA.) bottle looked something like this. I Believe they can be Dated by Shade.

But because it says, Not to be Sold, I'm wondering if it was a bar room bottle.

Great color on it. Smooth the bottom out and make a window bottle out of it.

Probably was a pretty good one. Try contacting https://www.americanbottle.com/ and they can tell you what you almost had. Heartbreaker in my book for sure.

 

[epackage]

$30-50 bottle depending on condition, looks like it had liquid in the bottom that froze at one time and cracked the base off....

Still would display nice could put it in a base of some sort. Pretty cool. Tommy
