Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/25/2006 12:55:11 AM    JGUIS   Posts: 1704 Joined: 3/18/2006 From: New Lexington, OH Status: offline I did pretty good the last 2 days in 2 different dumps. The old city dump, which is about 15-20 acres, yielded some new sodas for me. 3 Whistle SS from Zanesville, 1 clear, one with a slight green tint, one with a slight blue tint(blue has chip and crack). Edwards Sodas Newark, OH(never heard of). One that just says soda on both sides, Zanesville OH also says Bottle Pat. Nov. 8, 1925(has crack). Athens Bottling Works, Athens, OH. Yet another 1915 Coke(this dump is full of them, but most are damaged, or just broke) At an old military academy dump I found 12 local half pint milks(embossed, but only on the bottom) Clouse & Snider Dairy, and one matching full pint. A Masons Old Fashoned Root Beer painted label(unfortunately most of the paint is but a haze), and a Kigers stock farm dairy 1/2 pint full embossed from Lancaster Ohio. I will get some pics up tomorrow. I'm wondering if anyone has any dates on the Whistle, and any info on the others. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.

I believe the Whistle sodas date from the late Teens into the early 20's...found quite a few with Property of CC Bottling Works sodas, and Chero- Colas a few years ago...all in the same huge pile. Two dump truck loads were found under the floor slab of an old garage building. Some were embedded in the slab and some were inserted in the walls between the blocks like "glass rebar."

Embossing on the bottom only was common for the military too from just before WW1 to about 1950. They frowned on the advertisments and still do on alot of things but they are not as tight about it as they used to be. < Message edited by capsoda -- 4/25/2006 10:25:35 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 6

RE: Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/26/2006 1:26:05 AM    JGUIS   Posts: 1704 Joined: 3/18/2006 From: New Lexington, OH Status: offline So do you think they were done seperate for the military academy, or were they used for schools too? I've seen other Clouse-Snider 1/2 pints that were full embossed. Just wondering if I could advertise as such since so many people went to this academy. It was called St. Aloyisius Military Academy, or St. Ama as they called it. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.

RE: Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/26/2006 1:46:32 AM    capsoda Posts: 7863 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Mostly just for the military. The government used to fund military academys so they would have access to trained officer material. The funding went the way of the beurocrats and most of the small academys failed. The government provided them with money for uniforms, books and food along with access to venders at government rates. Many even used dinner ware, beds, blankets and linnen marked with the branch of service that the academy trained for. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 8

It's too big to be a 223, but it has stuff all over it. I'll have to clean it off and check the end. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth. (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 9

I think it's worth some $. Pics soon. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth. (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 10

RE: Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/27/2006 5:02:01 PM    capsoda Posts: 7863 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Possibly a little earlier possibly a little later. Some coke bottles were used as early as the 1890s and as late as 1924. Does it have a tooled top. This would indicate it was possibly made before 1902. Other than that you would have to know the history of the bottler. The range you suggested is a good bet. Got to be one of the plainest ones I have ever seen. Makes it kinda special. If you find a spare you want to get ride of let me know. Off to work. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 15

RE: Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/28/2006 9:39:29 AM    JGUIS   Posts: 1704 Joined: 3/18/2006 From: New Lexington, OH Status: offline The bottom has a large E in the center of the bottom just like the C.P. Elder bottles from Shawnee,OH I have found. The seam does run through the crown, but the bubbles made me think early machine. I have found other soda bottles from Newark,OH, made for Coke, but none the exact same style. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.

RE: Soda N Milk jackpot - 4/28/2006 9:49:31 AM    cowseatmaize Posts: 2135 Joined: 12/2/2004 From: Metro West, MA Status: offline I had a thought about the Coke if it can't be found as a soda. I know to this day you can buy the syrup of coke in drugstores so perhaps it's one of the earlier syrup med bottles. Just throwing that out there. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 19

The closest other building is an old barn about a half mile down the road. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.
