I am working on an 1870s dressmaker
shop/domestic residence area in Virginia City, Nevada. I pulled out a badly
fragmented but nearly complete aqua colored bottle. The label is red, black,
and white, however, it is so badly deteriorated I can only make out a few
letters. Embossed on the side is: FLORIDA WATER/"... & LANMAN"/NO 69
WATER ST/NEW YORK. I was wondering if anyone can give me the first part of
the company name, date range, and any history. You may contact me off of the
listserve at <mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]
Thanks. Julie
