I. Ledermann, 750 5th St., N.Y.

ledermann-1

Isaac Ledermann was listed as a bottler at  750 5th Street in the 1890 New York City Trow Business Directory and the  1891 New York City Directory. These are the only references I could find that put him at the 5th Street address. At the same time, the August, 1890 edition of the “New York City Real Estate Record and Guide” identified him as a bottler for the George Ringler & Co. brewery.

He’s also listed in the 1883 New York City Directory at 98 Avenue C with the occupation beer.

By the late 1890’s he’s apparently no longer in the bottling business. Between 1897 and 1899 he’s listed in the trucking business at various Lower East Side addresses. Whether he was in the bottling business continuously between the early 1880’s and 1897 is anybody’s guess?

Today the 750 5th Street address does not appear to exist.

The bottle I found is a pony style soda/mineral water with an applied blob finish. It’s embossed with the 5th Street address associating it with the  early 1890’s listings.
