DAMASCUS BOTTLING WORKS OF DAMASCUS, VA

Over the mountain from Abingdon, VA there lies the small town of Damascus, VA. Damascus was the home of the Damascus Bottling Works which may have been established by during the first three decades of the 20th century, and would last until around the time of the Depression. Charlie Barnette, a local bottle collector and operator of www.bristol-tenn-va-bottles.com, was lucky enough to come across the stock of bottles from the company in the early 1990’s, and was able to talk to the granddaughter of the company's owner. He has a right up about it on his own site entitled Damascus VA Bottling Works. I have been trying to find out more about this bottling works, and as I find out anything I will post it here.
