That is a nice looking soda if it was from my area I would be all over it.

Well, it wasn't that great I guess?? It only went to 20.50$ and I can,t let it go for that. Looks like I'll have to wait for a show.

What exactly IS the "coal region" of PA?
I'm thinking the western 3/4 of the state ??
Teach me the truth []

" coal region " usually refers to area from Jim Thorpe up to Wilkes-Barre and west toward Pottsville. there are some really fine looking colored sodas from this area. coal dust made a miner very thirsty.......

towns such as; hazelton, schuykill haven, ashland, minersville, summit hill etc

That is a nice and rather unusual soda. I have one, but you almost never see them. You made the right choice, there's no way I would let one of them go for 20 bucks. I have tried to research R.W. Budd, but never found much information on him. ~Jim

Tough time to sell anything. Good you had a reserve on the bottle. Until you pay your ebay and Paypal fees you'd get about $16.00. Add a value for your time and gas to take it to the post office it's not worth it.

coal region area could make a big come back if the clean coal technology can be fully developed. i'd imagine with new technology and mining methods we could probably mine up there for 20 years. it's been a rough ride for many of the folks in that area. not too many good jobs, and these gasoline prices really affect those who need to drive many miles to work.

They are making a come back in some places... China doesnt care if the coal is clean, if it burns they will buy it[]
