Featured in this lot are three beautiful glass and ceramic soda and water bottles from various manufacturers from the 1880-1890s. The first bottle in this set shows a clear glass construction and is marked reading, "Coventry Company Mineral Water". The Coventry Glassworks, established in 1813 in Coventry, Connecticut, was a significant early glasshouse, producing items like flasks, decanters, and inkstands, and is credited with creating the first "portrait flask" featuring the Marquis de Lafayette. The factory produced a variety of glass items, including flasks, decanters, tumblers, vases, apothecary phials, snuff jars, inkwells, and other bottles. This bottle shows an interesting design with a section of its neck being crimped as to house a glass ball in the neck. When the bottle is filled with a carbonated drink, the pressure of the gas forces the marble upwards against a rubber washer or seal in the neck of the bottle, creating a tight seal. It reads, "Coventry Company / Mineral Water" and shows an image of a bike. The second glass bottle shows a dark brown color and was made by R. Emmerson Junior in Newcastle On (Upon) Tyne, England. It reads, "R. Emmerson, Junr. / Trade Mark / Newcastle on Tyne" and shows an image of a man on a high wheel bike. The third and final bottle was also produced by R. Emmerson Junr. and shows a ceramic construction. It shows a light brown and egg white color with an image of a man on a high wheel bike. It reads, "R. Emmerson, Junr. / Newcastle on Tyne / Trade Mark / The Doctors Stout". This bottle also features its original wood screw cap. They show good condition overall with little wear present despite their age. No major signs of damage noted. They measure from 9 3/8" L x 2 3/8" W to 8 3/8" L x 2 5/8" W and have a collective weight of 3 pounds and 12 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona.
