Found bottle need help. - 1/8/2009 12:18:30 AM    hemihampton   Posts: 412 Joined: 10/6/2006 Status: offline I have a bottle named Chas. Rosenberg from Philadelphia, Penn. It's a  Blob top. I checked my Beer Brewing books & no mention of this brewery or history of it. Could this be a Soda bottle or Obscure Brewery. Anybody ever see this bottle before or know anything about it? Any info appreciated. THANKS, LEON. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

We're north of there and cringe when a Philly blob comes out out especially when its your turn.  Try movin it to Unaswered Questions with my Warners or Whiskey?... goodluck privvydigger _____________________________ thx privvydigger gtr'dug Collector of all Coaldale & Lansford, And love digging Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk & Tamaqua, Pa. sodas, beers, milks.....

Is it the number of brewerys there? Number of collectors who specifically collect beers? what is your opinion for this? My guess would be because balt has only a couple hundred (if that) blobs compaired to philly (a couple thousand) blobs. Its much more easy in a lifetime to optain 90% of the blobs from balt then it is from philly. Also in philly there are so many more available IP and smooth base Squat sodas/beers that I am guessing people would choose those to collect than the stupid looking blobs because they are reasonably cheep from (philly). Not the case with Balt. IP sodas and beers are much more difficult to optain and bring more money (usally) so they are out of a lot of collectors budgets. That would be my guess John Digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to PrivyCheese) Post #: 12

RE: Found Pennsylania bottle need help. - 9/17/2009 12:35:40 AM    ancientdigger69 Posts: 341 Joined: 7/31/2009 From: Central Illinois Status: offline i guess it comes down to supply and demand. i moved out of philly 5 years ago to central illinois but still collect philly bottles. i know i will never have 1 of every one but i do buy everyone i see that is reasonably priced that i dont have. 2nd and federal is in the heart of south philly where there were ALOT of brewers. the available supply of philly bottles is insane. they are found all over the country. but i dare you to dig me a peoria bottle in philly, baltimore, or new york. it will probably never happen. and if it does, its a one in a million shot. but neat bottle though, one i havent seen or have.
