This bottle is embossed with "T. HARDIMAN & Co, KIDDERMINSTER" and dates to around 1915.

At the time, local bottling companies were common in towns across the UK and this bottle would have held carbonated drinks like mineral water, lemonade, or ginger beer.

During the Victorian and Edwardian eras bottling companies embossed their names on bottles to build brand recognition, support returns, and assure authenticity.

While specific records of T. Hardiman & Co. are limited, the bottle’s existence shows the company was active in the bottling and distribution of beverages during that period.
