Default Old Spring Water Bottle

Hey all, I found this old bottle at the site of an old spring water bottling company.
This company was adjacent to an old Inn/Resort down here in Whitestone SC. Both were built in 1890's, and both burnt to the ground 10 years later. This water was touted for it's health benefits....(as were all spring water's of this time period.) This area is now located out in the woods on state park... a great place to dirt fish by the way. The bottle has a purple tint. No side seems, and an uneven bottom. The writing reads:

Whitestone
Lithia Water Co.
Whitestone Springs, S.C.

Wonder if it has any value other than being just plain cool??

Funny thing Yardog.... it was perched up on top of leaves just as pretty as you could imagine. There are literally hundreds of broken remains all over! I will keep searching.

Nice bottle Colby. Has to be worth something!

It has been said that lithium helps people stay calm and balanced. In an epidemiological study of two similar towns in Texas, it was reported that the town where lithium occurred naturally in the drinking water had lower rates of crime and alcoholism.
