Anybody ever heard of these guys? W.C. Heslop & Co.?
I can only find one reference in Google timeline "May 3, 1871 - Letter from Drs Mtltenberger and Baltzkll Baltimobe April 17th 1871 Messrs WC Heslop Co Gents Having carefully tried yonr Worcester shire Sauce at oar private table we prononnce it a roost excellent article perfectly pure in all its ingredients and an excellent condiment for all ... "
The date is about right for the bottle style I think $:-\$
Anyway thank for your help :hello:

Dr. Wm. H. Baltzell was from Frederick, Md.
Dr. Geo. W. Mittenberger was also mentioned in the Maryland Medical Journal (Vol 42) on the same page (referenced below) with Dr. Baltzell.
Perhaps W.C. Heslop & Co. was a US (Baltimore?) importer/distributor of W. Sauce. Just guessing....

Thanks,
British import's a big possibility, I've dug a few of 'em(imports - not Heslop).
I posted it on a U.K. bottle forum - we'll see if anyone recognizes it. :icon_thumleft:
