Return of a bottle - a Christmas gift

[2moshers]

A few days back I was contacted by an Anthony Mazzella and a Sharon Atkinson in regards to an old bottle I had found. It was an Atkinson's Bottling Works, Mount Holly, New Jersey bottle I had found some time ago. Her father, Robert James Atkinson Sr., was the grandson of the founder George H. Atkinson. He had been given a bottle a long time ago but unfortunately it had been broken. In a desperate search to find another bottle for a Christmas gift they somehow miraculously found a bottle (and me) on TreasureNet. Atkinson's Bottling Works was once located on Route 38 in Mount Holly, New Jersey. So this old bottle's story and journey continues on. Merry Christmas Mr. Atkinson!
