Title: This bottle is not Danish as far as I know, any suggestions? ID=Alsterfors
Post by: ahremck on November 16, 2010, 07:48:53 AM

I had Peter Harder look at this because my first impression and that of my friends was that it was probably Holmegaard.  Peter thinks not nor is it Danish.

Suggestions welcomed.

Hi Ross, there was one of these listed on ebay recently as Alsterfors:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150511039915&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150511039915&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123)

I contacted the seller during the auction and he said he had seen others labelled Alsterfors.  I haven't seen any personally, but maybe it's a place to start?

Thanks for that Wayne - now to see if I can find an Alsterfors catalog to look up.
