ex cavator Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks for the interesting information hugh ! i did not think he had died so early as i have R T Taylor bottles with dates on them 1894 1895 1897 so i wonder why his bottles were in circulation so long after his death ? any more information is much appreciated thanks . kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
