    The following bottles were discovered in a closed off craw space in my home about five years. Three years Ago when we remoldeled I was able to retrieve them, they have since been stored the same very old wooden crate that i found them. I've finally gotton around to research some and believe the era of these bottles are from 1930's - 1940's. They are Soda, Water and Beer Beverage bottles all from Brooklyn, New York, New York City and one from Lynbrook, Long Island, also one bottle is unmarked with just a symbol. Another bottle say Thos E. Morrissey on it so i wonder if that what was in the bottle. They all have raised embossed names and or logo's. They are as follows:

    Bottles from Left to Right (as per photo)

      Hello! I thought you might be interested to know that you found a soda water bottle that was from my great grandfathers beverage company, R F Cantwell ( Richard Frances Cantwell). I have a very cool photograph of him standing with his horse pulled soda water cart. I would absolutely love to know what you decided to do with all of those beautiful bottles and share the photograph with you if you are interested!? Cheers!

      Very nice! I must have found a long lost cousin here because my great grandfather, Richard Frances Cantwell, had a soda water business in Brooklyn. My grandfather, Richard John Cantwell, also had a photo of the horse pulled soda water cart for as long as I could remember in his dining room. I'd love to get a copy of that too.

      Hi Melissa. Do you have a private emAil I can reach you at? I think your grandfather was my grandma Cynthia's brother. My mom always talked about an Uncle Dick. I would love to chat more and compare family history notes. Maybe you can fill in some of the gaps!
