Description: William Eagle was listed as a bottler of porter, ale, soda, mineral water & cider. Eagle’s business operated in Lower Manhattan with “Canal St.” embossed on their beer bottles. Most all Eagle bottles are porter & ale style with some of the earliest having an iron pontil. Towards the end of Eagle’s business he briefly began bottling lager beer.
Teal, squat style blob top w/ iron pontil. Embossed “W. Eagle, Canal St. NY”Reverse embossed “Philadelphia Porter”Another variation of the W. Eagle bottle. The same as the first example except the year is embossed “1860”Here is a William Eagle Lager Beer bottle. This is the only champagne style lager bottle I have ever seen from this company. Embossed “LAGER BIER, 1875, Wm. EAGLE, Cor. CANAL & VARICK St’s. NY” . Embossed across the entire reverse is “THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD” This variation must be very uncommon. I could not find it listed anywhere.
