Vonder Horst Brewing Company

Historical Context

Vonder Horst's Eagle Brewery was very popular brewery on Belair Ave extended. Once burned to the ground the brewery was rebuilt and the "Son" joined the company in 1892. Vonder Horst was also the owner of the American League's Baltimore Orioles and Brooklyn's Superbas. The brewery was sold to The Maryland Brewing Company in 1899 but no bottles were produced. Interesting to note is that there were only two slugplates used. Both "V" slugplates were later reworked, engraved with the Eagle motif, "TRADE MARK" and then reused.
