Saratoga mineral water bottle from the Shamberger collection. No visible chips or cracks except as noted. CLARKE & WHITE/ C/ NEW YORK./ N11. "Arriving in Saratoga Springs in 1822, New York City soda-fountain owner John Clarke saw the commercial potential of the area's pure waters. He purchased land and established a venture bottling mineral water. With partner Thomas Lynch, Clarke successfully marketed his bottled water across the country and Europe. Not long after, he married the widow Eliza White who had purchased the High Rock Spring. Together the couple formed a successful company, Clarke & White, to bottle their Saratoga mineral waters. After Clarke's death in 1846, their children managed the family business for some years." From http://odysseysvirtualmuseum.com. Molding defect in lip similar to a smooth chip.
