    ehhing? bottle

    I found this water bottle last week and its been soaking since,
    it really cleaned up nicely and no chips or cracks either.
    Any clue on age or approximate value would help.
    botton says reg 7 fl ozs louisville ky big E in the middle of
    the bottom with a 3 weird symbol and 8 on it.

    Epping, established in Louisville in 1863 was a bottling and soda producer.

    Epping Bottling Works was at 712-718 Logan St.
    Originally, the bottles were washed and filled by hand, then delivered in a small wagon. The company was established by H. Epping then turned over to John G. Epping. http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pagev...45;passterms=1

    The mark on the bottom obvious stands for Epping. I'm guessing the mark to the left of the "E" is a 'B' for 'bottling' (or bottle) and the marks to the right of the "E" are 'CO', for 'company'.
