Parkesburg's History Told Through Its Bottles

Parkesburg antique bottle collector, Gerry Treadway (a.k.a Uncle Sam), has written a unique history about bottles that were used in Parkesburg from 1852 to the present.  The book, Parkesburg Bottles, includes pictures, description and histories of bottles used for milk, drug, malt liquor, mineral water and others.  Included are many interesting stories integrated with historical information about Parkesburg.

You need a testimonial?  Kerry Glenn read Parkesburg Bottles for the first time over the summer and reported all the names and dates checked out.  You can't do better than getting Kerry's stamp of approval.

Here's another the March 2010 Bottles and Extra newsletter:

" Every now and then a book containing local bottles and histories comes along that is well worth whatever [price] the author wants for it.  Such a volume is the 138-page, well illustrated Parkesburg Bottles, by Gerald L. Treadway."

See the review below or read more about the book in the Philadelphia Inquirer or watch a video.
