Hello,
Here is the other bottle. Just about 30 years ago, a golf course that opened in the mid 20's in Livonia Michigan closed. It was called Northville Golf Club, though it was not in Northville. It had a club house on the corner of 7 mile and Newburgh that had not been really used for many years. After it was sold and scheduled to be knocked down, my dad and I went to explore. In the basement was a bar, and behind it we found two ginger ale bottles amid a sea of empty modern gin bottles. This is the other bottle, from the Silver Springs Water Co. with offices in Detroit and Northville Michigan. Northville had an artesian well that the company used for its water. See the link below for a little more information on that.
The label is not quite as interesting as the Cavalier one, but the colors are nice and it has that 20's/30's look to it. Of special interest to me was the local connection in Northville. The Northville Historical Society may have more information on the company, I'm not sure. I'm reaching out to them.
The bottle is green glass with a capital H in a square. The side of the base has a 2 on it for I assume the 2nd cavity. Not sure. I will try to include a pic of the parting line, as it was sloppier than I expected.
If anyone has information on the Silver Springs Water Co., I'd be interested.
