Last week while digging in the New York City area, we recoverd a olive green Saratoga style mineral water (except that it has an applied blob top instead of a double collared lip) embossed "F.H. Hecking's / Mineral Waters / New York." I cannot find any listing or information on the bottle . . . can someone help us out?
We can accurately date the bottle to the 1860s as it was found at the top of an 1850s to 1860s layer with both pontiled & smooth based bottles (such as a Wheeler's Bitters, other smooth based Saratoga style mineral waters such as a Clarke & White, iron pontiled colored soda style bottles such as DeMott's, Boardman & Knickerbocker, etc.)
Thanks, Andy
