Is it a Hutchinson or a high shouldered blob? Is it "Kennen" or "Kehnen"? Matt has it eggsackley. "Pittsburgh is one of the few American cities to be spelled with an h at the end of a burg suffix. This style is commonly used for many other cities and towns of Western Pennsylvania.[29] While briefly named "Pittsburg" from 1890 to 1911 following a declaration by the United States Board on Geographic Names, the Pittsburgh spelling was officially restored after a public campaign by the citizens of the city." From. He's right on the "South Side" too. "The South Side, most of which was originally the village of Birmingham that was annexed to the city in 1872, was settled primarily by German then later Eastern European immigrants who came to Pittsburgh to work in heavy industry."

I don't know anything about Pittsburgh bottles, just a little bit about the city itself since I went to school there. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

"Southside Slopes (sometimes written as South Side Slopes) is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's South Side area. The neighborhood comprises the hills from the South Side Flats neighborhood along the Monongahela River from the Liberty Bridge (west) to beyond Josephine Street (east)... South Side expanded and grew in order to keep up with Pittsburgh's industrial boom, adopting the nickname "Workshop of the World". The industry of glass-making was predominant in the early 1800s, and later the banks of the Monongahela River became home to the iron and steel operations run by the company J&L Steel." From wiki-slopes. (in reply to div2roty) Post #: 8
