Hi HistArchers,
 

I'm looking for company and dating information on a cobalt blue,
machine-finished soda (or other beverage) bottle with crown-cap lip and this
embossed label:


 


CITRO


THE THIRST QUENCHER


BROOKLANDWOOD SPRINGS CO.


BALTO MD.

 
REGISTERED
 
(The T in CITRO is about twice as large as the other letters in the name.)
 
A logo on the bottle base (maker's mark?) is a capital M inside of either a
G or a C (which I can't find in Toulouse's Bottle Makers and Their Marks
book or in the SHA's
http://www.sha.org/bottle/makersmarks.htm#Bottlemakersmarks site), above the
numeral 2.

Several of these bottles are listed on eBay but I'm looking for info about
the Citro company and the bottle's age and maker's mark. All help
appreciated.
 
 
Thanks,
