    Cantrell & Cochraine

    Fresh out of the tumbler is this Cantrell & Cochraine round bottom ginger ale bottle. I can date this bottle to around 1881 or 1892, namely because I found two ads that mention what is embossed on the bottle. (See that the Cork is branded "Cantrell & Cochraine" Dublin & Belfast). Hard to read...
