Unsolved Mystery: Corona Beer?

vintage corona beer bottle

Was someone sipping an ice cold Corona with a slice of lime on the beach? I do not know – but I love this piece! My daughter found it this summer on Lake Erie. I think it would make a neat pendant, but I doubt she’ll let me get my greedy little hands on it.

As soon as I read the text on the piece I assumed that it must be from a Corona beer bottle. I did some searching around on the web and discovered that Corona was first brewed in 1925, but wasn’t imported to the US until 1979 by way of California and Texas.

But as I compared the piece with the bottle, I noticed that the piece of sea glass has the word ‘city’ on it. I can’t seem to find a bottle of Corona with this word on it. I’m assuming that the older bottles said Mexico City, instead of Mexico, but I’m not sure. I just sent a note to the company to find out.
