I’m looking to buy bottles from South Florida. - 10/17/2011 9:34:18 AM    stumpknocker   Posts: 324 Joined: 1/6/2010 Status: offline Does anyone have any bottles from South Florida that they would consider parting with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: I’m looking to buy bottles from South Florida. - 10/18/2011 1:12:53 PM    willieboy   Posts: 30 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline Very nice Miami Steam Bottling Works/Miami, Fla. I recently learned through Tod Van Mechow's research that the monogram initials CC most likely represents the name C. Castellano. He was an Itailian immigrant born in 1864. He is listed in the 1900 Miami Florida census as a bottling works owner. There is a collector in the Ocala area and one in the West Palm Beach area I could put you in touch with that have more information on early South Florida bottlers, both very knowledgable.

RE: I’m looking to buy bottles from South Florida. - 10/19/2011 9:38:00 AM    stumpknocker   Posts: 324 Joined: 1/6/2010 Status: offline Research provided by Tod von Mechow for those interested. Thanks, Tod http://www.sodasandbeers.com/index.html Florida > Dade > Miami > District 32 > Page 20 4th Street Castellano C. Head White Male; Born 1864; Age 36; Single; Born Italy; Immigrated to US 1882; In US 18 years; Bottling Works Owner; Months not employed 3 I also found ads and articles in Miami News Papers that date the following operators of the Miami Steam Bottling/Bottling Works. 1911 Miami Bottling Works (Gowan & Phillips) moving from 12th St West of the Railroad to Hill Bros Building on 13th St West of Ave D (November 14, 1911) 1906-1907 Miami Bottling Works (Wall & McGowan) 12Th St near RR (August 27, 1906 - October 11, 1907) 1903-1906 Miami Bottling Works (Wall & Dickinson) 12Th St near RR (April 17, 1903 - August 18, 1906) 1900 Miami Steam Bottling Works (J. I. Turnage) Box 84 (April 27, 1900 - November 2, 1900) (involved in Ideal Bottling Works 1901 to 1903+) 1899 Miami Bottling Works (C. Castellano) (January 5, 1899 October 12, 1899) 1898 Miami Steam Bottling Works (?) (Carl Zapf) (August 25, 1898) Attached are articles that support the above and you may find interesting. I found an archeology paper that states one bottle was found in the ruins of 1899 hotel fire and that lines up nicely with the newspaper ads. So it appears he was only in business in 1899, but may have leased the factory to J. I. Turnage in 1900. Castellano may have been in Jacksonville (1910 census lists a guy that appears to be his as fruits in Jacksonville) prior to and after his stay in Miami, but he was back in Miami in 1935, when a Census was take and in it he he is listed as a produce dealer. Hope this was helpful. You may want to visit this site and search the newspapers: http://ufdc.ufl.edu/fdnln Tod (in reply to stumpknocker) Post #: 6

RE: I’m looking to buy bottles from South Florida. - 1/11/2012 1:16:43 PM    willieboy   Posts: 30 Joined: 8/28/2006 Status: offline Hello Stumpknocker, Are you interested in a cobalt blue gravitating stopper bottle from Tallahassee Florida embossed Tallahassee Bottling Works/Tallahssee, Fla? Unfortunately the stopper is clear glass and the rubber gasket is dried out. Just a couple of really small flea bites on the lip.........wait a minute that was the last bottle I found in my dreams last night, nevermind (in reply to stumpknocker) Post #: 17

RE: I’m looking to buy bottles from South Florida. - 1/25/2012 7:11:39 PM    stumpknocker   Posts: 324 Joined: 1/6/2010 Status: offline I would like to thank forum member Ronnie Gaskins for his help in acquiring these two Hutchinson Sodas for my growing collection. Without his thoughtfulness it would not have been possible for me to acquire these bottles for my collection. It’s people like this that makes this hobby so much fun. I’m still looking for many other bottles for the growing collection so if anyone has something that may be of interest from the Southeast please send me a PM or an Email. Thanks to all the fellow forum members who have check their boxes for item that may be of interest. I'm wishing successful happy hunting for everyone reading this tread.
