More Archival losses

I was cruising through the trade mark claims and decided to have a few pulled to see what sort of labels were remaining. It was disgusting to find that most of the early labels had been pilfered. I have seen these labels in other visits and was contemplating having a few copied. Jacob Denzler's claim of 11 May 1881 is one that stands out. His trademark was for the bottle with the three beer guzzling bears and the beer it contained, Philadelphia Export Lager Beer. The label envelope contained only traces of dust. The whiskey trademarks are worse, with bitters a close second. Complete files were stolen in the 1970s, and especially hard hit was A.P. Hotaling. The only complete file of his is the 1881 trademark for the A No 1, OK and Pure Old Rye bottles with the barrels on them.
