FLG Lord American House, Winchendon, MASS

[MikeL]

Hi, I have this bottle marked FLG Lord American House Winchendon, MASS. It has a N on the bottom. Bubbles are in the glass and there is what appears to be a seam that goes down both sides of the bottle.Surprising, Ebay doesn't have any listed on it. I can not find any information on it. Can anyone help me with this? Where it came from? What's its worth etc etc.....

So - " It looks Interesting. I couldn't read all the embossing. It needs to be "/ spelled out."I couldn't tell if it was a slug plate insert or not; from the pictures. I couldn't find it in three books I checked. I will look some more. RED M.

The American House was a ritzy dinner, hotel kinda place Lord was probably the proprietor at the time the bottle was made. With that, the initials likely end in L.Something to work off of anyway. "Surprising, Ebay doesn't have any listed on it. I can not find any information on it. "I don't find that surprising at all.

There were some prominent "upscale" private hotels back in the day that had their own bottled wine and mineral waters. This is likely an example of one those. I am too tired (or lazy) to do the research at this moment, so I'm just guessing what I think it might be. Lol

G. F. Lord was listed as proprietor of the American House Hotel in Winchedon, MA in the 1907 "New England Vacation Resorts" guide put out by the Boston & Maine Railroad.
