Antique Falstaff Lemp Beer w/ label

This was a wild find-really a crazy novelty. It's a 125 yr old beer bottle w/ it's original label and no rust on the original bale and ceramic stopper.
This beer was created in three steps 100 plus years ago.
This is how I'm guessing it was made: A. The beer was brewed and barreled in St. Louis B. The bottles were made in Illinois C. Beer kegs and bottles were shipped by train to San Francisco, that's where the bottles were filled and sold.
How the empty bottle remained in such superb condition-who knows ?
.

 

That's fascinating. In what part of the world did you find it?

Found in Portland Oregon. San Francisco may've been a main West Coast shipping hub for Lemp, Est 1840 in St. Louis. Portland's biggest local brewery was Henry Weinhard, Est 1864.
Here's a pic of a portion of the Weinhard Brewery Complex (mercifully preserved !)-
