. Once again, I am not saying that L&C bottles weren't made at Vernon, but that no hard evidence has come to light. As far as I know, it is just speculation and it gets passed along like fact over and over. The best proof is a document. Even shards found at a glassworks can be misleading (could be cullet or a random throwaway from the period).
Well said Mark!!!!!!! As a collective group we tend to over-attribute (myself included) and you offer sage advice. You could tighten your statement even further by changing the word "document" to "period document" (even though I think that this is already what you mean). In the future I will be sure to catalog Lynch and Clarke bottles as simply American (even though I have a strong suspicion that at least some of them were blown at Mount Vernon...)
