I thought some might be interested in looking at this interesting Weed bottle so updated the link to it. The Weed Sewing Machine Co apparently began in the early 1860's & closed up shop in 1890. This bottle would thus have come from that time frame. So far have found no info on C C & T Sheppard. Anyone here happen to be from the New London CT area who may have heard of them or any history of the company.
