Aronhime + clear + Brockway = not very old in collector terms, 1910ish would be a guess. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to Jet Coaster Fan) Post #: 2

JCF, man, Happy new year! I know you're capable of posting photos. I'm not entirely confident in your transcription skills. I'd think the Brockway mark would pretty much preclude the rarity issue. "Brockway Glass Company, Inc., was incorporated in New York in June 1907. The Brockway facility dates back to 1907 also, when it was owned by Brockway Machine Bottle Co. Brockway Machine Bottle Co. later became Brockway Glass, and the principal executive offices were in Brockway, Pennsylvania. Since its incorporation, Brockway was continuously engaged in the manufacture and sale of various types of glass containers. It also engaged in the manufacture and sale of glass tubing, plastic vials, fitments, and related products. The manufacture and sale of the plastic products was conducted by Celluplastics, Inc., of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and Custom Plastics Corporation, of West Springfield, Massachusetts, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Brockway..." From Lehman Brothers. They made a lotta bottles... Here's some personal recollections of life around the Washington , PA plant. (in reply to Jet Coaster Fan) Post #: 3

From Miniature Bottle Library. This one contains a spelling error, I believe. It's listed under Aronheim Distilling. "Charlestown, W. Va.-- Aronheim & Behrend will open a department store here about May1. Aronheim is from Charlottesville, Va., having also been in the liquor trade at that place at Roanoke, and he conducted a liquor establishment here until July, 1911. Behrend was formerly in the feather renovating business in Baltimore and Washington." From Notions & Fancy Goods, 1912. There was also a wholesale liquor firm in Detroit by the name of The Robinson-Aronheim Co., incorporated in 1905. I suspect this is a different batch of Aronheims. From. I like the "Largest and Swiftest" language. Are'ya gonna put up some good photos? Make a small donation to the site for all this quality transcribing? < Message edited by surfaceone -- 12/29/2011 10:45:22 PM > (in reply to Jet Coaster Fan) Post #: 4
