Sing Sing NY blob top

edited May 2022 in Question and Answer

Hi all, curious if anyone knows anything about this blob? Dug this weekend and cannot seem to find any relevant info on it. pretty standard blob, applied top, aqua, post mold. Any ideas on this one? Embossing reads Andrews & Vandmark - UN LD in center slug, Sing Sing NY. Slug looks like a police badge...

  • Interesting. Sing Sing, New York, must have been a prospering community when it changed its name.

    On April 2, 1813, Sing Sing became the first incorporated village in Westchester County to be state chartered.

    In 1825, construction of Sing Sing Prison began. Native granite was used to build the first cellblock. Commerce and industry flourished throughout the 1800’s. The industrial growth included a shoe factory and a stove foundry, both of which relied on convict labor. As the prison became notorious, the village tried to distance itself from the prison’s harsh reputation and changed its name to Ossining on March 25, 1901. Here's my Sing Sing bottle:

    HUNT'S / LINIMENT // SING SING N.Y. // PREPARED BY // G.E. STANTON

    blown in a hinge mold, with an open pontil scar.


  • Yeah @Harry_Pristis the Hunt's Liniment is probably the best known Sing Sing bottle.

    Nice find @piggler - great graphics - Looks like your soda is an unlisted one:

    Thanks for the info! Made a typo on the embossing, it reads Andrews & Vandemark - UN LD
