If anybody has any idea about this label, we would be very grateful. Onno sent the image in, so I guess it was brewed by the Phoenix brewery in Amersfoort, but is Percy Christian & Co Ltd a completely made up name?

Percy Christian & Co. Ltd. are listed in the 1938 Liverpool trade directory as General Merchants at 51 Drury Buildings, 21 Water Street, Liverpool. No mention of them as bottlers, exporters etc.

Thank you for that Geoff. I guess they only operated as an importer & distributor.

To clear up this question: Percy Christian – Registered in Liverpool as an agent for the sale and export of lagers to West African ports. The company is clearly not a bottler, but it did trade under its own label. Percy Christian later comes under the brewery of Peter Walker (Warrington & Burton) Ltd.
