Coulson Macleod’s Vintage Find
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Very excited over our new purchase and thought I’d share it with you. We were rummaging in a junk shop yesterday and came across this vintage bottle crate…
This bottle crate is from Arnold, Perrett & Co. Ltd, a brewery in Gloucestershire that was founded in 1820. Arnold, Perrett & Co. ceased brewing in 1924. The site is now used by Wickwar Brewery.
Not sure how old this crate is, but it doesn’t date to any earlier than 1887 (that’s when the company changed its name to the version on the crate).
The best thing about our new crate is that the supermarket plastic herb pots fit exactly into the bottle slots. I’m off to buy 11 more tubs of mint for a fantastic window planter.
