American beer bottles didn't have threaded finishes for twist off crown
caps until the 1960s.

A beer bottle was found near the supposed bones of Amelia Earhart on
Nikumaroro Island.
According to the TIGHAR website, a bottle expert identified it as for
American export beer - around 1936.

Does anybody have a different opinion about the likely age of this bottle?
The image is difficult to locate on the Facebook page, so I have
uploaded a copy of it to

The post of the facebook page is a bit misleading. I'd assume the modern intact bottle on the left has been included for scale/reference and it's the burnt fragments on the right they are referring to.

You are correct. I should have written that the claim was for the fragments being from a bottle like the complete one.
