W.M. / POND / NEW-YORK PHILADELPHIA / XX / PORTER & ALE / UNION GLASS WORKS
Has small chip in the base visible in photos, and tiny potstones somewhat visible in the photos. The first X has a slight bruise. Lightly cleaned, a nice looking bottle.
As for W.P. (William Pond) there are also several bottles known,both glass and stoneware, that bear the Knickerbocker name.Perhaps the best known sided bottles from New York City are William Pond’s Knickerbocker Soda Waters. Pond’s sided sodas are embossed with the same 164 18th Street address as are Samuel Smith’s bottles. Given that both are embossed the same, and represent different individuals, it’s likely that the address was a bottling house shared by both businesses. In addition to the familiar 10 sided examples there are at least two 8oz. stoneware bottles known from William Pond, and a round glass bottle with date and address that bear Pond’s initials and the Knickerbocker name.
