Above the word design, it has the number 9. What year do you think the bottle was actually made? Attachment (1) < Message edited by necie35020 -- 2/9/2010 12:06:22 AM > Post #: 1

RE: need help with nehi - 2/12/2010 10:52:53 AM    jcrlanger   Posts: 89 Joined: 2/11/2010 Status: offline I am new to this forum but I have done some research on Nehi.  The main distinction of the age of the bottle will come from the bottling company and when they switched names.  Here's a brief history - In 1924 Chero-Cola Company introduced their fruit brand Nehi to the world. In 1928 Nehi became so popular that they changed their company name to Nehi Corporation. In 1955 the company changed to what it is know by today Royal Crown Company. Though the patent for the "Rope Design" bottle was 1925 it is believe that it first came out in 1924.  It was used through 1955.  What I noticed in my research was that when Chero-Cola switched to Nehi, the bottling companies didn't necessarily switch right away.  For example in Virginia a Chero-Cola Bottling Company didn't switch to a Nehi Bottling Company until 1930.  This may be for the reason that Chero-Cola wasn't reformulated and renamed Royal Crown Cola until 1934. Now to the age of your bottle - Depending on when the Birmingham plant switched names you can assume that if it was made by the Chero-Cola Bottling Co of Birmingham, AL the bottle was made between 1924 to 1934.  If it was made by either the Nehi Bottling Company or the Royal Crown Cola Bottling Company of Birmingham, AL it is between 1928 to 1950. I hope this helps John < Message edited by jcrlanger -- 2/12/2010 10:54:57 AM > (in reply to necie35020) Post #: 8

I have also heard that any embossed nehi bottles that aren't from columbus georgia arent really common. The georgia nehi bottling plant must have been huge considering i actually don't see many nehi bottles that aren't from there. _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!
