Holy Grail Of Baltimore Steamer Sodas!!! - 12/7/2011 9:32:28 PM    waskey   Posts: 1530 Joined: 12/6/2008 From: ellicott city,md Status: offline I was able to add the rarest Baltimore steamer soda to the collection recently. There, as of now, are only 3 examples from D.A. Cooke with this being the second nicest condition of the three. I have been looking for one of these for a very long time and a good friend was able to sell me this one for a fair price. D.A. Cooke was in the soda/mineral water business for only a year or so this is an extremely rare one; not even listed in the Baltimore Bottle Book. D.A. Cooke also had 2 other relatives in the mineral water/soda business in Baltimore. The other relatives names were Thos. B. Cooke and C.W. Cooke. Not sure what the family relations were, but I do know that they were related. The bottle is embossed D.A. Cooke / horseshoe motif / Baltimore. I am very glad to have been able to add this holy grail to my collection Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!

I think something similar to the Ross book of Baltimore beers would be great. Except add in the dates in business and address and other interesting company information.

I agree with Chris, it would be great if you could put together a book on Baltimore steamers. One of my goals is to do a book on early soda bottlers and brewers from my town.  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 6

I am still working on my list of all known known Ellicott City bottles, but maybe when I get a chance, I can begin a book on the steamers. It would be a good idea since it seems like more collectors are beginning to appreciate them more. _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!
