These bottles were stashed in the 1860's barn 35 years ago. I have been Googling my fingers off and not getting any info on the bottle or the company. Makes me wonder why he stashed them. The bottle bottom pic says 1 then a square box then 64. Is this the mfg date? Thanks for any help.

this bottle most likely comes from Freace . vichy was and still is a resort in centeral Freance with a nateral mineral spring . which was botteled as far back as 18thcentery . if that labul is a A . C .L . ( PYRO ) . Then it.s a good one.

Looks like a Glenshaw Glass Co. mark that was used starting in 1934, I don't think they had any known date codes during this period of production. My guess is mid 1940-50's...

I was able to find an online reference to a Saratoga White Cap Spring Co, Inc, 110 High Rock Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY being in business as of 1958. The bottle looks like it could be from around that time, perhaps a few years after. Cool bottle.

There are more of them in the barn. I think in the original crate. Don't know if they are worth grabbing.
