Title: Old bottle using companies in Carmarthen
Post by: Treetective on Monday 21 October 13 07:44 BST (UK)

A colleague of mine has done a lot of research into the old bottle using companies in Carmarthen (chemists, pop works, wine merchants etc)

There a 3 out of the 50 odd companies he has not managed to track and was wondering what would be a way forward. Can anyone help??

Has he ever seen British Bottle Review?

He might get some leads there?
