It's a bit of a thread hyjack, but here are two pics of the Middletown Springs and Hotel Co Montvert Water. It's neither the label nor the bottle of the Gray's and Clark water. And I bet the hotel was never nearly that large either...

And here's the label

The parts of the label towards the sides contain an analysis of what was in the water, and a testimonial describing the water.

The bottle is what I have always called a turn mold, no seams, but definitely 19th century. This was a common form of labeled water bottle in NE. I've got two others, one for Clarendon Springs (who seemed to use only this form of bottle) and another from northern Vt.

This is the only label on Middletown I've ever seen. I've owned it since 1988.
