Pre-1915 Mouth Blown Blenheim Bottle


Personal Collection - BLENHEIM BOTTLING WORKS BLENHEIM, S.C.
 Maker unknown - Pre-1915 mouth blown


Bottle is undated, however key bottle characteristics place it between 1890 and 1915.  We all know Blenheim has only been a Southern Tradition since 1903, so this is one of the earliest if not the very first Blenheim bottle design. I would love to know if there is anyone actually at Blenheim that could confirm this. My requests to the company for assistance have thus far gone unanswered and unfortunately I get the sense they may not have very good records from before the time of the Schafer family.
