hard to find dug nineteenth century dug medium aqua blue soda bottle manufactured for chicago bottler daniel dempsey. the high, tapering shoulders are finished with a short neck and applied oval-blobtop. daniel dempsey is listed in the 1880 census as a 50-year old soda water manufacturer. he was in a partnership with thomas hennessey from 1872-1881, but he never appears in city directories as sole owner of a bottling company during the post-civil war period. although dempsey and hennessey were partners for nine years, they only produced a single "d&h" embossed bottle style before hennessey bought out dempsey's interest and continued alone for a few years after 1882. daniel dempsey again appeared in business in 1884 when he formed a soda and small-beer bottling partnership with cornelius ryan.
