Hey Tony,

Good to see you digging, and telling us about it. Thanks for the great photos. Siege of Carthage, all the way! I'm getting nowhere on ole J. B...

What's it's capacity?

Hauoli Makahiki Hou going your way Surf!

Capacity... good one, its a 10 oz give or take a sip! []

I found a J.B. Grant listed under Omaha & Grant Smelting & Refining Company, but no correlation to a beverage company yet.

Right back at'ya, Tony,

There's a Clan Grant Society, of which you may want to inquire.

Through the society, I learned of the Glen Grant Distillery.

I know it's not related, but it was distilled by the Grant Brothers, James & John...

Hey Rock, thanks for the post. What a beautiful place you live in. Hawaii is the only state I havn't been in, I guess I'm saving the most beautiful for last, huh?

When you say a "mill", it's just so hard for me to picture Hawaii, all I can picture is a New England mill like the ones I dig and dive near. Love that blob, it's a nice one. Wish I was there digging with ya, frozen solid here in Maine for now

Good luck finding more great stuff!

THanks Surf. Good read up. Still up in the air on its origin but leaning to outside the USA.

Aloha Bram! Nice hearing from you. Yeah we had 28 sugar mills at one time. Hard to believe but sometimes I think we were more advanced back then. lol
