Hi thanks for that but please see attached photonever seen that Guinness label before, To me almost looks home made on a Computer or Printer. Most Guinness labels seem to have what some people call Lot#'s across labels. LEON.
It is the J&B trademark with as far as I can gather has the name "Jewsbury & Brown" directly under the J&BAfter doing some research I see James Butler had a huge well known Grocery Store Chain in New York. In a 1906 Newspaper Ad I see he Advertizes selling Guinness Beer. So, Could he of added his own label to these Bottles? Possible I guess? What does the embossed side say, I can't read it? LEON.
YesDoes that Bottle have an internal threaded screw top?
Thank you for the information. It was baffling me. Do you think there is any value in the bottle?Hi John,
Sorry to dissapoint but the Jewsbury, Brown bottle is from a large manufacturing chemists in Manchester, England.
They produced various mineral waters which this bottle would have orginally contained.

As far as the label on the bottle is concerned, probably a 'recent marriage' of an old label and an old bottle that never originally went together.
