ALLEN Mineral Water

[georgeoj]

I picked up a small group of bottles this morning. This mineral water is the odd ball in the group. Has anyone seen this before? It is about a quart. The only other marking is a mold no and a letter on the base ( 535 / H ). Any information would be welcome.

It's been on here before, I don't remember anything about it though...

I have or had one exactly like it, I may have posted pix of it. I can't locate mine, may have disposed of it. I kept it because my middle name is ALLEN. I believe it is a Western made bottle because of the base embossing.

Look here>> http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stephen.pomeroy/local/mineral.pdf

It just doesn't look British, but the embossing does.

I'll keep looking.

Also this. Obviously bottled.

I think you have your location. 40 miles from Williams and 3 miles from whatever that other springs name was...

Nice bottle, by the way. I am not able (yet) to find anything at that town we discussed at the Detroit bottle show. I will keep on it.
