labelled NC Mint-Colas - 6/15/2008 9:30:32 AM    celerycola   Posts: 57 Joined: 2/20/2004 From: Alabama Status: offline Here are two Mint-Cola bottles from ads I've found. I sell 17" tall posters of the bottle on the left at bottle shows. It shows the mint leaves embossed below the circled monogram. The one on the right is from the 1920 ad above and does not have the mint leaves. It is also missing the 5c on the label. Both bottles are embossed Salisbury, NC.

RE: Mint-Cola from Georgia - 6/18/2008 11:56:45 PM    jejbottles   Posts: 24 Joined: 10/30/2004 Status: offline The Mint Cola bottle that I have from Norton, VA doesn't have the bottler information embossed on the side like the one from Bristol.  The town name is embossed near the base on one side and the opposite side is embossed with Mint Cola Bottling Co.  The bottle is sort of an ice blue color.

Too bad that it didn't have the bottler on it. (in reply to jejbottles) Post #: 12
