Help! Soda Stream Internal screw bottle - 1/22/2012 9:49:25 PM    BeachComber   Posts: 138 Joined: 12/10/2007 Status: offline Hi everyone. I found this bottle while diving last week and was hoping that someone could help with the ID. The bottle has an internal screw top and original stopper. It is embossed with Soda Stream and it has an arrow embossed above the name. Has anyone ever seen this bottle before? Is it American, British, Canadian? What date range is it from? Is it rare? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I'd guess it's Canadian... It's got a "continental" sort of look to it, yet the closure is distinctly English, making me think it's Canadian. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

Cool bottle, I would like to get one myself british navy stuff is always cool. (in reply to epackage) Post #: 6

There are several variations in different sizes, including a tenpin shape, and larger bottles embossed vertically in large letters 'Penny Monsters' on the sides, with 'Soda Stream' in small letters on the base. Seems to have been a franchise type business, with the company supplying syrup, bottles and advertising to small scale suppliers around the UK (and probably in some of the colonies at the time) around 1910 - 1930. I might be mis-remembering, but somewhere I remember seeing something about the British Army using the stuff in some of their garrisons in Africa and the middle east during WW1. The Penny monsters bottles seem to be earlier (about 1910 - 1920) and the Soda stream bottles like that one being more like 1915 or 1920 through to 1930. One of the franchise holders, at least for a few years, was one of my great-grandfathers, in Boston (the Lincolnshire town, not the one in the NE USA) in around 1908 - 1914. Here he is in 1913 with some bottles and advertising. The glass bottles in this photo are the Penny Monsters type.

There's no fletching on British Admiralty arrows, and a very short shaft (which is why they're called 'Broad arrows'). _____________________________ www.diggersdiary.co.uk (in reply to deepbluedigger) Post #: 8

RE: Help! Soda Stream Internal screw bottle - 1/23/2012 9:52:34 AM    BeachComber   Posts: 138 Joined: 12/10/2007 Status: offline Very interesting information! Thank you all so much for the details and history! I dive in Bermuda, so it makes sence that it was used by the British navy. However, the arrow does not have that "broad arrow" look to it. This arrow looks more like an actual fletched arrow. Thanks again!    (in reply to epackage) Post #: 10
