I couldn't find a pic of an actual bottle with the words in the glass.
I suspect that the piece of sea glass is from a very early bottle. It appears that Falstaff later went with the colored labels and left off embossing the glass.
The complete info can be found in these books:
Wikipedia says: The Falstaff Brewing Corporation was a major American brewery located in St. Louis, Missouri. With roots in the 1838 Lemp Brewery of St. Louis, the company was renamed after the Shakespearean character of Sir John Falstaff in 1903. Production peaked in 1965 with 7,010,218 barrels brewed, and then dropped 70 percent in the next ten years. While its smaller labels linger on today, its main label Falstaff Beer went out of production in 2005.
