Rothbury Aerated Water Co'y stone bottles
In response to Vagabond's message:
Yes, the swing-top bottle in my photo is restored. (By me, and therefore recognisably so!) I dug it in pieces over months and not completely. Quite scarce, I believe.
The Galtee More bottle is complete. Also I've dug one piece, with some lettering on it, of another one. Perhaps older than the swing-top.
The T.Thompson and Son bottle must be more recent. I've dug a few pieces of another one but not enough to try to reconstruct it.
The Trade Mark for the Rothbury Aerated Water Co'y was a bulls head. Perhaps too expensive to transfer onto stoneware bottles, it was embossed onto their glass Codd bottles.
I too am very interested in discovering dates and details of this firm.
