Haugstetter
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Haugstetter & Co, Washington DC
Notes:
This bottle is somewhat of a mystery. I cannot find Haugstetter & Co in any of the Washington
DC city directories.
I searched the DC city directories in the residential sections from 1855-1879, and the only
Haugstetters I found were John & Mary (husband & wife). John shows up from 1862 to at least
1879, but he is listed as a butcher during those years. He was born 1823 in Wuerttemburg Germany,
and didn't seem to have any children.
I don't see how a butcher's name could end up on a bottle, so I don't think he's the right guy.
