Franklin Pa??

[Stickeygreen4476]

I was searching ebay and found this bottle. It says Franklin Pa. The town I grew up in was called Franklin in the early 1900 but you can jog thru it in 30seconds so its hard for me to belive there was a glass house there. Does anybody know what part of Pa this bottle refers to?

I suspect that the PRODUCT i.e. Mineral Water, was bottled there and the bottle made elsewhere. One might get a clue of the location of manufacture by looking for names or logo or other i.d. on the bottom. Perhaps you could do a little research on the History of Franklin, PA to find out if there was a Mineral Water source there in the late 1800s - early 1900s.
