M.M. Whitney


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Whitney & Landers, 576 7th W (1869)
  Whitney & Landers, 208 7th (1870-1871)
  M.M. Whitney, 208 7th SW (1872-1879)

Notes:
 I beleive this was Moses M Whitney (b. 1839 in New York), and his partner was D.E. Landers (b. 1835 in NY). The latter was listed as a manufacturer of Mineral water in the 1870 census.

Bottles:

whitney_02 (enlarge) This is a 7.3" aqua, gravitating stopper bottle with part of the stopper still inside. It's marked:
front: M.M. WHITNEY & CO / WASHINGTON, D.C.
bottom: W
whitney (enlarge) This is the same bottle as above, but I painted the embossed letters, because the embossing was so weak. This photo was taken before I cleaned the bottle.
