It sounds nice but i've never confirmed this. would be nice if someone had an old squat with    Eagle Brewing Co.                      Pottsville  PA embossed on it eh ??? if you look at the Yuengling logo and advertising, it has always carried the Eagle as a focus of it's brand. just hoping someone on here has some info.  thanx in advance.

RE: worthy of its own post! - 5/26/2008 10:46:14 AM    privvydigger   Posts: 517 Joined: 7/16/2006 From: Heart of the Coal Regions Status: offline No just curious.  I wish.  I went back to the hole yesterday and topped it with topsoil filled in some other low spots in the yard. We're putting in some pavers and crushed stone for a garbadge can area.  We reseeded a big portion that had no grass.  After, I broke out the maps and sure enough we found another 1840 50s stone liner about 20 feet away.  The property lines changed since the days of old.  There were two fires and they moved three houses to the back alley.  If my calculations are right which I believe they are we will be in some color tomorrow.  I posted early this year in January three colored sodas.  I said this might be a banner year and the bottle gods are with us so far.  _____________________________ gtr'dug (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 34

RE: worthy of its own post! - 5/28/2008 10:16:25 PM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Yuengling was established in 1829 and was called the Eagle Brewing company at the time. Their business was located by City Hall in Pottsville and in 1830 it burnt down so they moved it to Mahantongo St. where the old building still stands today. When the original building burnt down, the Eagle Brewing Co. became Yuengling so there is no sodas embossed with the Eagle Brewing company from Pottsville, Pa. Yuenglings oldest bottle is an early pontiled wine bottle but it is not embossed. They did not make any true squats, but they have a pony blob, tall blob, amber ladies leg squat with a blob top and one with a crown top. In the late 1800s to early 1900s they produced a lot of different types of beer bottles too. One other neat bottle they produced were milks during prohibition which are always a fun to find when digging around Pottsville.   Privydigger, can you post some of the names of the Tamaqua squats? I would be interested in knowing which ones you found. (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 35

RE: worthy of its own post! - 5/29/2008 4:44:27 PM    privvydigger   Posts: 517 Joined: 7/16/2006 From: Heart of the Coal Regions Status: offline Each town has a different number or ratio.  We call it paying dues.  20 to 1, 16 to 1, 8 to 1, 4-5 to 1 Something like that. We dig them all no matter what age.  The colored soldgers are a rare find.   Everyone was dirt floor poor! The local stuff are the keepers in my mind.  I like the other stuff but being a local collector and not being able to find the old ones is sometimes frustrating.  However, if it were easy everyone would be doing it.  privvydigger  _____________________________ gtr'dug (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 38

Its a luck of the draw game everywhere I have dug. Maybe a coal region digging tour might be on the schedual for June? Probably not, but if you guys want to hit up Philly let me know, i'd love to dig a few interesting soders out your way. Matt (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 39
