Stoneware? Schweppes

Thank you, Chris, The Crown Seal origin of 1870's does seem to narrow the date field, as you say to 1870-1901. I don't see how the crown seal evidence can help on setting the latest date. [Because of forgeries.] There are two or three questions remaining. Proof that the Schweppes Co. was...

Would anyone want this dumb ol' bottle in their trash heap? That way you could look at it, post its picture for me and then throw it away yourself. Would you pay postage at least?[X(]

Stoneware? Schweppes

Thank you for your quick answer, Oz-Riley, There was a reason for suggesting the dates 1841 to 1901. Queen Victoria did not officially make her heir the Prince of Wales until 1841 and her reign ended in 1901 at which time he became the King. The dates you suggest of 1910-1920 seem unlikely to...
