RE: Old Beer bottle - 5/31/2006 11:27:02 AM    wvhillbilly   Posts: 474 Joined: 5/21/2006 From: West Virginia Status: offline Heres info on the company I found it easily but I can't find no value      The Schmulbach Brewing Company was the second of Wheeling's big three breweries. It began operations in 1855 as the Frederick Ziegler Brewery. In 1873 a stock company was formed under the name of The Nail City Brewing Company. In 1882, Henry Schmulbach gained control of the company and changed its name to the Schmulbach Brewing Company. The company also fell victim to Prohibition and closed for good in 1914. The buildings still exist today and are one of the finest examples of 19th century brewery architecture in the country. (Anyone know if the buildings are still up in 2005? Ed.) UPDATE: 2/17/06 Almost all the buildings are still standing! Thanks to Albert Doughty for the info!     It also has a number 2 on the back heel and heres a pic of the bottom.     Attachment (1) < Message edited by wvhillbilly -- 5/31/2006 8:11:02 PM > (in reply to wvhillbilly) Post #: 4

Those are probably more desirable for the decoration but still only get about 10-20 dollars. There was a lot of competition and prohibition made a lot of companys go under, this was one of them. I'd think $5-10 is about it. This is what I'm figuring on doing completed items search on ebay and googling®. I may be wrong. Dollars also include the shipping when I guess. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
