Falstaff Amber Glass Beer Bottle [Obear-Nester Glass Co.]

This amber glass bottle is a Falstaff Brewing Corp. beer bottle.  Started in the 1840s, Falstaff was one of the oldest brewing companies in the U.S. until they went out of business in 2006.

Text on one side of the lower portion:  "KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL".
Text on the other side of the body:  "NO DEPOSIT" (star symbol) "NO REFILL 15".
The embossing on the base of this bottle reads at the top, "BN-1019", followed by the letter 'N' in a square, ending with the numerals '72', and at the bottom, "7B".  

Based on the base embossments, we know that the manufacturer of this bottle is Obear-Nester Glass Company, and the year of manufacture is probably 1972.
The Falstaff logo changed over the years, which helps identify approximately when this bottle was manufactured.  This particular logo appears to be the 1969-1979 version:
