I purchased 2 Keen bottles from a local antique shop in Bryan, Texas. The bottles have no markings on them except for embossed “Keen” on the sides and “Keen” on the bottom. The best information I have discovered so far is that the Washington County Bottling Corporation (https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth117914/#collections) in Brenham, Texas (~40 away) bottled beverages with the same logo that is on my bottle. Then I found this identical bottle for sale on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cedar-Grov...442695?hash=item362b955c07:g:YMgAAOSwq45afO4u) that says it was manufactured by the Keen Bottling Company in Cedar Grove, Louisiana. Does anyone know anything about these bottles? Age?

Please post the information you have. I know they bottled Keen in Texarkana, Conroe and Brenham, would love to know where else.

I've dug the bottles in Galveston in early 1920's stuff. Assumed it was probably bottled in Houston but not sure.

I they bottled keen also in a town called cedar grove, which no longer exists because it was absorbed into Shreveport La. I have a bunch of old newspaper articles but I got to find em first
