Here are a couple more old coal region Pennsylvania bottles for your enjoyment. Sorry about the poor quality photos.
Weyysers Porter came from a brewery in Mauch Chunk Pennsylvania, now Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. Mauch Chunk was a major coal mining hub in the region for the railroads and the mines. Many a miner probably enjoyed a beer from a bottle like this after a long day toiling in the mines.
The Schmeltzer Bros. bottle is the beer variant of their bottles that were usually aqua. Both bottles are blown in mold variety. The Weyssers bottle is really short, almost squat/pony style.
Both of these are Berks County Pennsylvania bottles. I don't know much about them, other than that they are hard to find.
