SWANSEA BOTTLES

Introduction

Tucks

Tucks had various branches in Wales, some of the glass bottles had the Swansea address on. The ginger beer doesn't contain a town name, perhaps the company didn't include one so it could use its bottles in any of the towns?

After searching through many directories the only mention of a Tucks I can find is in Wrights Directory of 1899, where a Tucks run the Temperance Hotel between Nos 4 and 5 Prince of Wales Road, as the bottle states this drink was 2non-intoxicating" this would tie in nicely with a Temperance Hotel.

One two tone, brown top standard with cork closure.

This bottle is part of the SMcD collection
