Witter Springs Water - 2/6/2007 11:14:59 PM    vincejohnston   Posts: 1 Joined: 2/6/2007 Status: offline I have a full bottle of Witter Springs water, that was pulled out of my great Aunt's basement in San Francisco.  Does anyone know how old the bottle is, and what it's worth?  I have attached two pictures.  The bottle is embossed, and I do have the original label.  Unfortunatly it's become detached from the bottle, and I assume I shouldn't try to glue it back on.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Status: offline well what i did when some of my labels came off (this was only a couple) was i used some ACID FREE stick glue i stress the words acid free for a reason if your going to glue it you might as well be sure its not going to make it disappear sooner i didnt ask any opinions about whether or not i should have dont this or not so you might want to let a few others chime in for a better understanding on how the collecting world feels about the practice of reglueing labels...... _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer (in reply to vincejohnston) Post #: 2

It is kid safe and works pretty good. Of course you know names of towns and springs were brought with the intransient migration of easterners. There is a Witter Springs near Saratoga and I wonder if a resident of that area traveled to California and found the springs. http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:Qqy4v-IJ-YMJ:www.saratogasprings.com/history/history5.html+Witter+Springs+water+bottle&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us Ep (in reply to steamfitter38) Post #: 5
