    Description

    WILLIAM M. DILMORE, 339 KAIGHN AVE, CAMDEN, NJ
    This stopper is from the pre-prohibition era circa 1900.
    Original antique beer bottle blob top porcelain stopper has the beer bottling company name and address on the top. Here is background about Mr. Dilmore for your reference:
    WILLIAM M. DILMORE was born in New Jersey in 1879 to George S. and Mary E. Dilmore. The elder Dilmore originally worked as a bookkeeper, but in the early 1890s went into the bar and restaurant business. The 1880 Census shows William Dilmore to be the third child, after George S. Jr. and Mary. The Dilmore family then lived at 336 Kaighn Avenue. By 1894 the Dimore family resided at 339 Kaighn Avenue. George S. Dilmore Sr. owned and operated a saloon next door at 341 Kaighn Avenue. The 1906 City Directory shows William Dilmore engaged in bottling business. Brother George Dilmore Jr. eventually became a dentist then a dentist, also living at 339 Kaighn Avenue.
    The Dimores left Kaighn Avenue by 1910. William Dilmore had left the bottling business, and father was made his home and operated another saloon, Dilmore's Hotel, at 531 Market Street through at least 1914.
