The lip finish on that Clark & White Mineral Water caught my eye. Its not the typical lip you see on those. Is it complete? It looks it. How about a close up of that lip. Those were some nice finds. Were they priced reasonable? It seems when we go to an Antique Show looking for bottles, they are usually overpriced, but sometimes we get good ones. Hope you enjoy them.

I have never seen one of these and just thought the lip was chiped. If it is somthing else please let me know. I only paid $10 for it so no big deal. But I need to know if there is somthing wrong with it before I put it up on the block. Oh and by the way these held "Congress Spring Water" from the congress springs in Saratoga Springs. It was only named Clarke & White from 1852-1865. So pretty easy to date this one. Thanks for your replies < Message edited by jdogrulz -- 11/30/2008 7:19:07 PM > _____________________________ Jeff (in reply to annie44) Post #: 7

I'd still say you did pretty good though! I have yet to get a hold of a saratoga style bottle and have always wanted one. _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle.
