My grandfather (c. 1893 - 1909) although a professional musician, actually worked as a civil engineer and was very artistically inclined. I am told that he worked at some time for a company that used some kind of mahogany boxes or material for their products and from these he built his family house ceiilings with the most intricate patterns and designs, each room totally different. And, he also worked for either a wine or brewery company which distributed a small glass cup slightly larger than what we call "a measured shot of whiskey or rum.:" I have a glass and it has an engraved letter "H" in gold which was the company's initials. I know nothing else. Do you happen to know of any such "brewery" around that particular time - 1893 - 1909. This was in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
