Caspar Damhorst started his bottling operation in 1881 at 1310 Jackson St. in St. Louis, Mo. In 1884 the address changes to 1310 S. 3rd St. (maybe a street name change as the number is the same). From 1887 to 1920 he is listed at 1028-1030 S. 12th St. From 1929-1933 its 1028 Frey and finally from 1936-1938 its 2907-2909 Washington.
Damhorst bottled The Laurel Brand sodas, a drink called Red Feather, one called Ple-Z-ee and an Iron Nerve concoction of some sort.
I haven't got positive dates on these bottles, but the hutch I estimate dates to the 1890's, the group of 4 bottles date to the late 1910's to the early 1920's, The three art deco bottles mid 1920's to the mid 1930's, and the two quarts maybe in the late 1920's
I especially like the art deco bottles as the two Laurel Brand bottles are square on the bottom and round at the top. Not sure if the picture shows that well?
