New York, 1887. $500 Specimen 6% Mortgage Gold Bond, Black text with brown border, Seal of New York City depicted at top center. Red specimen overprints, 0000 serial number, POCs. Fine condition with some splitting along horizontal fold lines, ABNC. D. G. Yuengling & Son is the oldest operating brewing company in America, established in 1829. In 2018, by volume of sales, it was the largest craft brewery, sixth largest overall brewery and largest wholly American-owned brewery in the United States. Yuengling is an Anglicized version of JŸngling, its founder's surname and the German term for a "young personÓ or ÒyoungsterÓ. During the Prohibition era, Yuengling survived by producing "near beers" (beverages with a 0.5% alcohol content) called "Yuengling Special", "Yuengling Por-Tor", and "Yuengling Juvo". In 1933 when the nation's breweries and disgruntled beer lovers finally won the fight against Prohibition, Yuengling introduced its symbolic Winner Beer, celebrating Prohibition's repeal, and the brewery shipped a truckload of its popular brew to the White House to show their appreciation to President Roosevelt. Its headquarters are in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
