Hamm's Prefered Stock beer bottle. Not sure how old this bottle is, but I know it's probably between 1950, because there is no tax stamp, and 1968, when Hamm's sold to Heublein. Barry....you out there?
Also, I got a little surprise when I got home that I hadn't noticed. It had Kool's cigarette butts in the bottom with a few matches. Kinda gross, but it made me laugh.

They reintroduced this in the early 70's,with the same black and white cans.You see those and the box matches (coasters,etc) a lot.The bottles are a bit tougher-15 to 20 bucks in value if the labels are good.
