1.) WALSENBURG/BOTTLING/WORKS Aqua and measures 6 1/2 inches tall. C. C. G. CO. marked at base. Great clarity despite exterior case wear scratching. Tiny pinprick nicks at lip of applied top. Closely resembles Preble's s326, just the height difference. Will likely improve with a cleaning, especially on the interior staining. Dates c. 1892-93.
