GUEST,r.padgett	Folklore: Miner's water bottle (42)	RE: Folklore: Miner's water bottle	01 Jun 15
Many thanks for your enquiry, I'm sorry for the delay in contacting you but I was away last week. It seems most likely that the Dudley water bottle got its name because the company which made them, called Acme, was based in Dudley. The company also made the metal lunch tins, known in Yorkshire as snap tins. I've included an image of one of the bottles in our collection showing the makers name I'm sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer but I hope this helps.
