RE: schweppe - 9/19/2011 10:51:19 AM    canada   Posts: 92 Joined: 7/31/2008 Status: offline J K&S is John Kilner & Sons. W is for the factory at Wakefield, England. 1992 is a mold number. Dave (in reply to king dick) Post #: 5

RE: schweppe - 9/22/2011 12:45:58 AM    king dick   Posts: 8 Joined: 9/18/2011 Status: offline Thank you I have looked at another site with history of kilner which seems to indicate that J K & S would have been used between 1847 and 1857. I have got as far with a picture as getting it to the computer but am having difficulty getting the picture to this correspondance. would it be reasonable to asume that Mr shweppe would not have ordered to many years supply of bottles and therfore the date would be somewhere arround the middle of the 19th C.

RE: schweppe - 9/22/2011 5:18:19 PM    canada   Posts: 92 Joined: 7/31/2008 Status: offline From your description, its what is known in the UK as a ''dumpy seltzer water'' bottle. The vertical embossing would date it to around 1900-1910, or so. The site giving the time period for JK&S use is incorrect. Please post picture, if possible. Dave (in reply to king dick) Post #: 11

RE: schweppe - 9/23/2011 2:29:22 AM    king dick   Posts: 8 Joined: 9/18/2011 Status: offline THANK YOU DAVE FURTHER LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF J KILNER SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE REPRINTED THE INFORMATION FROM GRAES GUIDE REGARDING BOTTLE IMPRESSIONS, DO YOU HAVE A MORE PRECISE ACCOUNT OF THE DATES THAT WOULD HAVE APPEARD DURING THE VARIOUS CHANGES IN THE FAMILY.

RE: schweppe - 9/24/2011 7:54:32 AM    Wangan   Posts: 1132 Joined: 12/4/2009 From: Northern Maine Status: offline LMAO Blade.Looks like Richard Cranium,the boss of a friend of mine. KD,if you use Windows,you can right click on your picture.Select Stretch/Skew.Reduce the picture size vertical and horizntal to 10%.Go to "file" and "save as" to your desktop.When you click on "embed pic. in post" and "click here to upload" at the bottom of the reply to message box it will say "browse". Just find the pic. on your desktop click on it and it will be entered in the "browse" box and click O.K.By reducing the size of the pic. it should be small enough to post on here.I hope I got this right,its been a while.Welcome to the forum and good luck. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/e4ujS1er1r0 (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 16
