Can anyone fill in the blanks?
I have a bottle that gives me grey, eeeh greyer hair. It has embossed letters "WICHITA BOTTLING WORKS WICHITA KANS." on the front and "C & Co LIM NO 8" on the back heel. Due to my own investigation it would mean that it's made between 1886 and 1907 by Cunningham & Co Limited in Pittsburgh but that's where I hit the wall. I'm sure that someone in this knowledgeable group can fill in some blanks.
Thank you.

I use to have Johnnie Fletcher's Kansas book I know he has an updated book as well, I know there's a couple different variants of this bottle the earliest ones are blobs, is yours a crown top and is Bim or abm and what color give me the info and I will ask for ya.

What kind of blanks do you need filled in? do you want to know if it's Beer or Soda. I can tell you it is not a hutch. how tall & wide is the bottle in inches? LEON.
