I was able to add the rarest Baltimore steamer soda to the collection recently. There, as of now, are only 3 examples from D.A. Cooke with this being the second nicest condition of the three. I have been looking for one of these for a very long time and a good friend was able to sell me this one for a fair price. D.A. Cooke was in the soda/mineral water business for only a year or so this is an extremely rare one; not even listed in the Baltimore Bottle Book. D.A. Cooke also had 2 other relatives in the mineral water/soda business in Baltimore. The other relatives names were Thos. B. Cooke and C.W. Cooke. Not sure what the family relations were, but I do know that they were related. The bottle is embossed D.A. Cooke / horseshoe motif / Baltimore. I am very glad to have been able to add this holy grail to my collection []
