Hello everyone. I am new here and this is my first new thread on the site. I figured I would begin with one of the favorite bottles of my collection. I found this a few years ago under a former Western Maryland railroad bridge, next to a Stoney's (Smithton) beer bottle. Though it is not super old, this bottle means a lot to me because it was made in 1977 the year I was born, and I think the embossing with the eagles on it is beautiful. I was surprised how pristine the bottle was. Like it was left under the bridge in the 1970's and never touched again until I found it. Just the next year in 1978, the Koehler brewery in Erie would go out of business. Here is a link to a site that has photos of the factory before it was torn down in 2006. http://www.uer.ca/locations/show.asp?locid=22155
