According to
McKearin's American Bottles book pages 234-235, LYNCH & CLARKE
was the very first Saratoga springs water bottles. The company was founded
in 1811 by Thomas Lynch and Dr John Clarke. Lynch later died in 1833, and
Clarke died in 1846, after which Clarke's heirs changed the name to CLARKE
& COMPANY.
A bottle with my last name "Lynch" on it, so it's a
keeper till I find a duplicate.
