E. Martin & Co. listed from *1865-1919. *Glass measurements have not been confirmed. Thomas (WB, p. 11) notes that Edward Johnson Martin was born in Ireland in 1819 and arrived in San Francisco at the age of 29. He made a small fortune in mining and then returned to San Francisco and in 1859 partnered with Daniel V. B. Henarie, E. P. Rowe and James Mairs in a wholesale liquor business, known as E. Martin & Co. In 1870, they involved John F Cutter in an attempt to steal the Cutter brand away from Charles P. Moorman. Although they lost a legal battle over the Cutter brand, they did produce several successful brands. Brand names used by this company include: "Argonaut", "E Martin & Co.", "J. F. Cutter", "J. F. Cutter Extra Old Bourbon", "J. F. Cutter's Extra Bourbon", "Miller's Extra Old Bourbon", "Miller's Extra Whisky", "Miller's Old Bourbon", and "Old Dorsey." Company name timeline: E. Martin & Co.
