Here is Dave Scafani's display of rare local (Southern Oregon) mineral waters. The area surrounding Ashland, Oregon was renowned for its mineral springs at the turn of the last century. Ashland was a destination resort for the "healing waters." Many of these waters were bottled and sold. I'm lucky to have two examples in my own collection... "Siskiyou Natural Mineral Water", and "Crystal Carbonating Co. Ashland, Oregon." Examples of both are seen here in Dave's display. Dave also has many fine examples of "Colestin Water" (pronounced "Coal-Steen"). The Colestin region sits upon the extreme border of Southern Oregon and Northern California.
