Dubious edit
The 1950 paid advertising in the post gazette from the new brewery building opening shows no clock in the picture, but aside from that, that clock building was completed in 1950! so i doubt the 1933 date for the clock being installed. p-g does mention a clock on the mt washington hillside by the duquesne incline advertising beer which went dark for air raid reasons. i suspect the 2 clocks got mixed up.

That'd be page 9 of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Jun 28, 1950.

Clock sources edit
Can someone provide some sources for the information about when the clock was on Mt. Washington. Also can someone link to the USGS EarthExplorer information that is said to provide info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.177.157 (talk) 20:38, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Legal citations edit
The amount of legal citations in this article is perplexing. Citing these correctly is difficult (especially if there's no URL provided to an online text of the court decisions), and I'm unsure whether they are the best means of verifying information. At times, this article reads more like a legal history of the Duquesne Beer Company than an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. — AlekJDS talk 19:35, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Clock sources edit
Wikipedia is not the place for original research. As such, in an effort to clean up this page, I am removing the following material, and will be replacing it with more certain material.
It most likely became the Duquesne Brewery clock in May 1961, after being removed from the hillside billboard in that April. Images obtained from USGS EarthExplorer of the neighborhood on August 1, 1959, do not show the clock's octagonal shadow. Pictures of the Mount Washington hillside about 20 blocks west of the brewery show the clock attached to a billboard as late as the end of 1954 advertising other beverages, including Coca-Cola in 1937, Fort Pitt Beer by July 6, 1938 per images in the P&LE image archives, Ballantine around 1949, and Schlitz at the end of 1954.
These claims are nothing but conjecture, and though a valiant attempt to document a history for the clock, are clearly original research. — AlekJDS talk 05:24, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Split edit
A portion of this article was split into Duquesne Brewing Company (1899-1972). The two companies share no common bonds except for the common name and trademark.--GrapedApe (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
