The embossing on the green ones: "FROM/ IROQUOIS SPRINGS/ A.S.W. CO PROP'S/ INCORPORATED/ NEW YORK". They are ALL BIM, which I find unusual. I can't find anything about the company, but they must not be rare, if I found so many! I only brought home ones without a chip or damage at all.

They all had remnants of labels on the back, but this one was the best, so I tried to preserve it. It looks like an Indian woman getting water from a rock wall??? Neck label says "Iroquois Sparkling Water".

A few have the original cap and contents. The stuff inside has little shiny flakes inside, so it still sparkles! It made the inside sick, somehow. When I shook it up, it still fizzed.

English ginger beer. I can't read the impressed stamp. First one I've dug.

I swear, it really is that color, it's not just the lighting... [&:] They all had this on the base.

An S. Scheuer flask! This one is pint sized, which I didn't have, but it is cracked in the back... [:'(] I've got a quart size, so they make a nice set, anyway.

A Scheuer liquor bottle, no damage! I think this was probably from the Bloomfield location, since that's the closest. I forgot to mention, Scheuer was a grocery chain.

Any blob is a good one to me, even if I've already got it. A sick Giblin from West Orange.
