I cannot identify which business it was from but I’m really excited about this one. It says “Agency Franklin Laundry” on the front side of the sign. There’s nothing on the backside of the sign, but rust. I think this is probably a local business, but nonetheless a great piece of history.
It was very windy yesterday, but I came away with more finds. I have a really cracked up Washington DC Chero-cola, a “Columbia Bottling Wrks Registered In Washington DC contents 7 fluid ozs.” And another A. C. Herman bottle. This is my third one, and my largest. It’s melted, however.
Hopefully one of you would be able to provide insight as to the origins of this sign. I cannot find any info on any local laundry’s of this name, so if anyone knows something about this, let me know.
Here’s the finds:
Full sign. “Agency Franklin Laundry” what an amazing piece of local history!
“Columbia Bottling Wrks” I haven’t found this before I’ve seen a little information on this bottle, but I have to invest a little more time in researching this bottle, and the company.
Other side of the bottle. “Registered Washington DC Contents 7 Fluid Ozs”
Chero-cola from Washington DC. It’s in rough shape, as I had to glue it back together because it was broken when I found it. Still wanted to clean it up and preserve it since it’s my first Chero cola.
That about wraps up the hunt. I think that sign was probably my top 5 artifact I’ve ever found. I hope to find more information on it and where it’s from.
