Silver Springs Water

[darkfoxx]

I found this bottle while digging a trench in my backyard. It reads: "Silver Springs Water " and in smaller print it says " company Detroit". I'v never heard of this company, and I live in Michigan, outside of Detroit. Anyone know of it? I'd like to know the history of this bottle and if it is worth anything...

Hi darkfoxx and welcome to the forum !
I'm not familiar with your water bottle. But , I presume the Spring water that it contained came from Silver Springs , Florida. Which at one time was advertised as 99.8% pure !
Our forum member Harry Pristis might be familiar with this one as he is a Florida resident. Any ideas on this one Harry ? Brian

Thanks, are you talking about this: Silver Springs water

 

[BRIAN S.]

darfoxx, Yes that is the Spring and the location in ( Silver Springs )Florida. But , the company is to new to be the same as your bottle. Founded in 1986 and I am presuming your bottle is earlier than that .
When Harry comes online......I'm sure he can provide you with a little info on your bottle. He may have seen or heard of it down there in Sunny Florida . Brian

I don't think this bottle has any relation to Silver Springs, Florida.

There is a Silver Springs in NY and in NV that are towns. It is possible that there is a "Silver Springs" in Michigan that is just that, a spring. It is also possible that the Silver Springs on the bottle is mythical.

I think I would focus my research on Michigan, if it were my bottle.

Good luck!

There is no Silver Springs in Michigan. The bottling company was in Detroit, but I cannot find any records of the company on the internet. I'v even asked some people that used to live in Detroit and they had never heard of it. I'm stumped... [sm=rolleyes.gif]

darkfoxx.... Harry may be right and I may be way off base here. I found a Crystal Springs Lake in Northville, Michigan. I will see if I can find a link. Brian

Is there a trade mark on bottom. Also on those types sometimes they are dated on bottom. Like 72 you would just have to be guesing 1972.

On the bottom there is a "O" with a circle going around it, so it looks like a line is going thru it horizontally.
