You probably already know this, but I was reading through Lawrence L. Rouch's book "The Vernor's Story" and on page 12 noticed where he wrote the following ...
"Two beverage firms in the home of Vernor's ancestors, Grattan (of Belfast) and Cantrell and Cochrane (of Belfast and Dublin), developed ginger ale around 1852."
I'm still leaning toward the possibility that some of your bottles were made in Europe and imported to the United States and thought the Belfast and Dublin locations mentioned above might be a connection if James Vernor's ancestorial roots did indeed originate in Europe.
