Hi, Dan! I came across an old bottle that I bought some years ago in Charleston the other day. It is old, but not really early. It appears to have been made in a mold. It has a seam down the side and raised letters. It was not blown with a pipe. There are no threads, so it must have been corked. The letters on the bottle read Fairfax & Co. Alexandria, VA . The bottom of the bottle has B.P.B. CO. I am curious if some of the Virginia Fairfax family had a distillery or some such business. Maybe Allen or Christina may have some knowledge of this. I was very surprised to find this bottle when I did. I was shopping in the marketplace in Charleston, looking thru the usual assortment of fleamarket finds when I saw this old man sitting at a table in the far corner of the building. His table was full of old bottles. I walked up and casually picked up a bottle. When I saw the bottle proclaimed Fairfax & Co., I was rather startled. The bottle dealer told me that this was the only bottle he had like that and had never seen another one like it. It just seemed odd that it was the first bottle that I picked up. Let me know if anyone knows more about this. Thanks! Sherry F.M.
