Rader. i should have said that the siegfried FAMILY were prolific bottlers............ i don't know the exact lineage, but more than one family member and/or generation was in the business. this one is another smooth based T.

I love local squats, there are only two from my town, but I'm always hoping to discover another one.

RE: east chunk pony - 5/23/2011 10:14:16 AM    houseman   Posts: 127 Joined: 7/22/2006 From: Palmerton, Pa. Status: offline I used to dig dumps quite a bit but never a privy. The problem I have now is time...between working 60 hours a week and helping with the kids...and the fact that since I'm still relatively new to the area I don't have any spots to dig. If you ever need help let me know. If I can break away for a while I'd love to see how it's done! Thanks for the info on the Walnutport bottles. I'm still learning about what's out there from Weissport to Walnutport. Small area but a lot of bottles! The oldest area of Palmerton used to be called Millport. Have you ever seen a bottle embossed Millport? Tim _____________________________ Always looking for bottles from Monroe County and eastern Carbon County PA. (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 10
