Bicentennial 1976 Fyfe & Drum Extra Lyte cardboard case w/ 24 EMPTY Bottles

Description

Here is a nice vintage cardboard box (no top), approx 17" x 11" x 8" in size. Marked on both side panels: Fyfe & Drum Extra Lyte Beer w/ picture of a Fyfe and a Drum and fancy scroll work. Marked on both end panels: Fyfe & Drum Extra Lyte Beer 4- 6 Packs 12 Oz. Non-Returnable Bicentennial Bottles. Inside the box are four 6-pack cardboard cartons, marked: Fyfe & Drum Extra Lyte Collectors' Bicentennial Bottles 16 Different Designs Collect Them All. On bottom of cartons it pictures the 16 different designs that were embossed on the bottles so that you could see which ones you still needed. Also marked on bottom: Genesee Brewing Co. Rochester, N.Y. 14605. All 24 bottles are present, along with all 24 original metal screw caps marked: Fyfe & Drum Extra Lyte. Bottles are EMPTY. My parents purchased this back in 1976, drank the beer, rinsed out the bottles, let them dry, and put the screw caps back on. Can't be many sets like this out there. It doesn't look like all 16 different designs are represented, but I did see a number of different ones.
CONDITION: The cardboard box is in Good condition, just some signs of wear from use, no top, and a little crushed in at the top, from having something else sat on it. The 4 cardboard carriers are near mint, just light wear from one time use. The 24 bottles are near mint, NO chips, cracks or dings. Overall, I grade this set an 8.5 to 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.
Great for the collector of NEW YORK NY N.Y. beer brewery breweriana brewer bottle bottles.
