Great Radium Spring Water Co. Bottle (ca. 1920) |
|
|
This embossed glass bottle was produced by the Great Radium Spring Water Co. Inc. of Pittsfield Mass. I have almost no information about this company, but thanks to some detective work on the part of Todd Jackson, we know that the Pittsfield telephone directory listed the Great Radium Spring Water Company at 24 North Street from 1919 through 1922. Was there really a "Radium Spring" in or around Pittsfield? Was the water elevated in activity? If you have the answers, I'd love to hear from you. Size: 10" tall
It is clear that the Great Radium Spring Water Company used these bottles for a variety of drinks, e.g., Mayflower Ginger Ale. See the following photo (kindly provided by Terry Palmiter). |
