Status: offline 		HI, thought Id share what I think might be a rare find, correct me if Im wrong. My boyfriend came across a bottle while out for a walk. I didnt think much of it, he filled it with flowers. The flowers had died so I thought id wash it out. Saw the name NEHI, and decided to look up some info. Apparently the NEHI Bottling Co. began in the 1920's, getting its name from overhearing a sales man using the expression "knee high". The bottom of the bottle is dated March 3, 1925. Anyone have anymore information on this bottle, please let me know.
 
Thanks
Lisa

Status: offline 		it all started in 1903 when Claude Hatcher invented his own soda to bottle and sell in his families grocery store he called it "Chero-Cola" he then created a line of fruity beverages that he called "NEHI" as you stated in the 20s they were such a big hit that he renamed the company after them. A little later around 1935 he changed the chero cola formula creating "Royal Crown Cola" or "RC" as most people called it which also was a big hit causing him to change the company name yet again to Royal Crown Cola Co. he also had the first diet soda "diet rite" and the first low calorie soda "RC 100" i think they were also the first to use the aluminum can

is your bottle embossed "nehi" or "chero cola bott. co." on the front opposite the town?

all are common bottles but they are still VERY nice to find

not necessarily they used embossed bottles all the way through the 50s all of which have the 1925 patent date on the bottoms, thats why i asked if she had the "chero cola bott. co" or the "NEHI" one

Status: offline 		Thanks everyone for the reply. Finding the bottle is just as fun as learning the history behind it! The bottle says NEHI, a rope design (my guess) on the bottle. The bottom of the bottle reads: 5 <0> 51   Design Pat 0, Mar 3-25, Duraglass (?) and 5. Thanks again for all the information, you are all very nice!
 
I'm going to try to get these pics taken and post them for you. Is it hard to post them on here?

Status: online 		Hi Lisa and welcome. It's a great hobby and one of the best forum's on the net. Posting pics here is pretty easy. Just make sure the pic file is not too large. You can check the size by resting the pointer on the pic before you open it. If it's larger than 200kb. you can reduce the size by cropping any uneeded info like the fish bowl or sofa and just leaving the bottle. you can further reduce the size by opening it in "Paint" clicking image then resize/skew. the just type in the boxes 80% 75% ect. what ever it takes. Simple. If you have any questions about collecting, buying, digging whatever don't be afraid to ask. This joint is full of people with loads of info. Most insane but nice all the same.



Rich.

your bottle was made in 1951 as noted by the manufacturer's mark on the bottom
