New Member, New (old) bottle

You would think if you pitch a bottle from a moving train at a power pole even at low speed that it would shatter or at least crack. I think at that price point I'll hold onto it, it looks pretty good in my "finds" cabinet. Speaking of, I need a new bulb for it. I gotta remember to call them...

I emailed the Jermyn historical society & they gave me the same information. When I punched in McDermott nothing came up in the area but they did give me a descendant's phone # so I'll try calling later today. Bottlers has been been around as a pub & bottler for 125 years, according to the...

I had found a few from different years, I believe 1906 was 1 but in one of the posts here the brewery was listed as being in old forge township as well. Either way knowing the location only helps so much. I think my best bet is going to be the county historical society whenever they reopen...

Just uploaded pics. It's hard to tell but the mold seam on one side is much shorter than the other. I cleaned it as best I could but there's still some junk in there. I'll have to try rice or an actual bottle brush to get the rest out. I saw those 2 references as well but no image results that...
