Description |
Thick, clear glass beer bottle with a 1 3/4" fluted base, 1" wide collar, and raised text on one side: "D. Sustillo / Wilmington, Del." On the reverse is "This bottle / not to be sold." Dominic Sustillo was in business on the 500 block of Tatnall Street from 1898-1903. His name first appears in the 1898 City Directory as a wholesale dealer in wines and liquors. He added "Bottler" to this description in 1900. He last appears with a profession in 1903, when he is listed as a dealer in wines and liquors, but is no longer a bottler. He is listed without a profession or business address in 1904 & 1905 and then disappears. |
