W. BISCOMBE. PLYMOUTH. REGISTERED TRADE MARK. BISCOMBE'S IS WRITTEN WITH ENMBOSSED LETTERS.
THE BOTTLE WAS MADE BY C.S. & CO.
Cannington, Shaw & Co., St. Helens, Lancashire, England (1875-1913) Edward Cannington entered the glass business in the firm of Cannington, Reynolds & Fry at Bristol, England, sometime prior to 1872. However, he sold his interest in the firm in 1872 and began glass manufacture in Liverpool. Cannington joined with John Shaw in 1875 to form the Sherdley Glass Works under the management of Cannington, Shaw & Co.
C.S&C (1875-1892) o Toulouse (1971:147) noted that bottles with the “C.S&C ” logo in an inverted arch “are not rare in the ghost towns of western United States, so the business in foodstuffs generally packed in them must have been good. The bottles, too, had to be good to withstand the eighty to ninety years in ghost town dumps.”
IT MEASURES 7" LONG X 2 1/4" WIDE.
THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THIS BOTTLE IS THE IRIDESCENCE IN THE GLASS, A GREEN TINT WITH LOTS OF INTERIOR BUBBLES.
THIS PIECE PRESENTS BEAUTIFULLY.
