Duquesne Cards
Description: The Duquesne Brewing Company was officially incorporated on April 4, 1899. The first president was Henry Miller, formerly a furniture salesman. The original trademark of the brand was a depiction of Fort Duquesne (though it actually featured a depiction of the Fort Pitt Blockhouse with the words "Fort Duquesne" underneath it), and the more recognizable "Prince of Pilsners" trademark was added later. The brewery decided to use refrigerated train cars to ship the beer, an innovative move in the early twentieth century. A Chicago stockyard man, Max Epstein, connected Duquesne with Armour and Company, and had Duquesne's company logo emblazoned on one of the cars. At first sight, the Duquesne reps thought the car was a giant billboard...
Description: The Duquesne Incline is a century-old cable car. Originally opened in 1877, the Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963.

Description: The view that launched a thousand memories. This vintage Duquesne Incline design captures Pittsburgh’s most iconic ride up Mount Washington — yellow cars climbing through the trees, porch-style upper station, and the city that waits below.

Description: We always thought that the Pipers were named after steelworkers who made steel pipe. But actually they were named for Scottish Bagpipers! This is still appropriate however, given Andrew Carnegie's Scottish heritage! This is a rarely seen alternate logo for the Pittsburgh Pipers basketball team, used in some advertising promotions. Note the bagpipe itself is a basketball!

Description: We love this Pittsburgh Hornets logo, from near the end of the team's first iteration at Duquesne Gardens and kind of a hybrid between the traditional red and white colors that the Hornets were known for, and the "Pittsburgh Black and Gold" that they briefly wore for a couple of seasons earlier in the 1950s!
