Buffalo buying Lithia Water Bottle Aqua (pale green) 1882-1908

I love the Buffalo Lithia Water bottles because there are so many variations and I had a decent collection at one time. This one is aqua (green) and is embossed BUFFALO/ LITHIA WATER/ NATURES/ MATERIA/ MEDICA/ TRADE MARK on one side and C/ 18 on the bottom. Note the absence of the word springs. The water was found to have almost no lithium so the company claimed that they meant it only came from Lithia Springs. So after 1908 they added SPRINGS after LITHIA to be clearer as to the meaning. That gives the most likely date range of 1882 to 1908. The bubbles in buying the glass support that time frame and the Sans Serf C on the bottom with number 18 may be an unusual mark for Cunningham glass which did produce the "flat skirt" Buffalo Water Girl as seen on this bottle. Start your own collection and search out the history it's a lot of fun.

Measurements are 10 1/2" high and 4 1/2" in diameter. Weight is 2 pounds 2 ounces.

There is a cork stuck in the opening which was there when I bought it decades ago and I have left it as is.
