Dale & Sons Grantham
« on: Friday 03 July 09 18:10 UTC (UK) »
Attached are pictures of a "little brown jug" that has been in my family for years and I am now passing on to my daughter.

I would be curious to know a little about Dale & Sons so my daughter has some knowledge of the history behind this screw top jug.

Being born and raised in Grantham the only Dale I know of was the headmaster of Gonerby School, John Arthur Dale (Jad)

Also I would be interested to know what the jug originally contained or was it a "generic" jug used to store vinegar or something similar.

Thanks, David.

Thanks.

As mine jug is named as "Dale & Sons 1930" I presume the senior Dale died sometime prior to 1933.

George DALE 41 Mineral Water Manufacturer, Ingoldsby

Deaths Mar 1933

As directories tend to be a year ot two "out of date", I suggest that GD may have retired before the time of his demise.

Thanks for the information Geoff.

It's nice to know the bottle was for Mineral Water, I would never have guessed.

My daughter has carried it safely back to Florida and now she knows a little more about "the little brown jug!"
