Need help dating a Lea & Perrins by the manufacture mark.

[Dug]

Hi;

I realize Lea & Perrins which is a popular condiment has been in business since 1835 so just about every digger has dug their bottles I'm sure. I dug this one in New Orleans many years ago but recently ran it through a tumbler. It had a severe case of sickness which could probably be better described as leprosy. I'm still wet behind the ears with my tumbler and wanted to see how it would come out after a week on 1500 SC. It came out pretty good compared to what it had looked like prior. I was able to get a better read on the base mark. I notice that most L&Ps have J D as their mark but this one has a A C B Co on it. The "bottle marks" web site does not have a listing for this maker so I was wondering if anyone has any history on that mark?

The bottle is a 7" sea green with an applied top.

Any help?

Nevermind. Stumbled across a different bottle maker web site that is pretty detailed and found it. Aire & Calder Glass Bottle Co. 1860-1920.

Could be Atlantic Bottle Company A.B.C., Brackenridge, Pennsylvania (c.1916-1930).

I followed the lettering in a clockwise rotation since Co is usually at the end.

It’s a nice one!

Has a nice applied top. I think it's ACB Co, Aire & Calder Bottle Co, in England. They made bottles for Lea and Perrins
Your bottle was made before 1880

that one would have had a glass stopper with a cork lining too.

Agreed as I was lucky enough to find one with the cork still on it. I assume they had a wire harness over it when shipped out from L&P.
