Treasures from the sea ...

Was J.T Morton the same as the Morton of salt fame?

Very nice stuff, great find!!!

I would be interested in that black glass bottle.
Looks to be a mallet, I would say its a sand pontil!

Hey, Melissa - they were indeed the salt merchants. Here's a lovely picture of one of their glass jars (also courtesy of the Lastovicas) :

Rick, the very oldest is also the tallest and has "Leith and London" embossed on it :

The TOC one has "& Co" embossed on:

while the black glass has "Co Ltd" , making it the youngest of the three. I was lucky enough to dig all three of these.

Conch, it's certainly for sale; the only problem is the postage to USA, which is a bit high.

Sweet treasures : ) from the sea and earth.

What would you date the London & Leith bottle?
I love Rose's Lime Cordial. We buy it all the time to add to fizzy water.

Melissa, the Leith version is around the 1880s.
