The green Archdeacon from 1850 is a very rare bottle, the BLUE one is the only example I am aware of. There is a rectangular slugplate from 1847 that I have a shard of, but no bottles have ever been found, this is the only shard I am aware of.
William Archdeacon and his family owned a lot of land in Paterson from the early 1800's, for years they let people bottle the mineral water from a spring there, which they were paid a royalty for, then in 1847 William decided to bottle and sell it himself. My goal is to find a whole example of the 1847 rectangular slugplate variant before I die...
