Hello russ,

Welcome to TNet & the joys of bottle cleaning.

There's a 1914 listing for Simonson in the R.L. Polk Directory:

"Coney Island Soda Water Co. Inc., (N. Y.) Samuel
Rosenblum Pres., Bernard Simonson Sec. Capital
$2,000 Directors Samuel & Esther Rosenblum, Rose
& Bernard Simonson 100 W 52d Coney Island" R. L. Polk & Co.'s ... Trow New York Directory

There's an Incorporation Notice at the foot of Column 6 in this March 4, 1914 issue of the Daily Star: http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%2015/Brooklyn%20NY%20Daily%20Star/Brooklyn%20NY%20Daily%20Star%201914/Brooklyn%20NY%20Daily%20Star%201914%20-%200426.pdf

When the excitement subsides a bit and you've got more clean bottles, please take some natural light photos of the complete bottles, with closeups of the lips & bases, please.

How'd you run across these guys?
