morbious ~

I understand now regarding your interest in that particular bottle. But since I know you like a good challenge, maybe you can figure out from the info on the bottom where my bottle was made. (Most likely from California as that's where I found it) but then again maybe not.???  The makers mark is another one of those weird G over a C that we spoke about the other day (Glass Containers, Inc.), and reads ...

                  
                     50  <symbol>  4        plus ... 5458          plus ... Des. Pat. 114026 

          Even if this doesn't tell us where it was made, is the date ... 1950 - 1954 - 1958 ?

I'm posting only the back and bottom ... the front is identical to your's. (Filled with milk for legibility).

     And I will understand if you are not interested or able to crack the G C code. It boggles me!

Thanks,

SPB 





If I had to venture a guess then I would have to go with it being a 1950. Of course the name of the bottler and the town was located on the cap as noted on the back. Los Angeles is of course where the main company had it's offices. That's what makes these Nesbitts bottles such a pariah with collectors, is the lack of a town name, thus they aren't worth much in the form you have posted. There are tons of that very bottle out there, and the market reflects that. Even though with that black acl it can be tough to find one of these in mint shape.

Status: offline 		This past Friday I had the bright idea to head over to Pikeville, KY for their Hillbilly days celebration, and to investigate an antique mall in the area. Along the way I kept my eyes open for any interesting yard sales. I actually came upon one about a half an hour from my destination, when I spotted a large amount of Royal Crown/Nehi coolers signage and other advertising devices. With my bottle alarm going off the scale I turned around and headed back. Turns out the guy didn't have any bottles, he was mostly an advertising and cooler collector. He had an impressive collection of items out in the yard and when I ask if maybe there was a chance he had some old bottler records he directed me to some boxes that he had bought the night before some of which were full of operator's manuals for the coolers, and another box full of paper labels for syrup jugs, and two more which were full of the reseal caps pictured. I went through them and picked out what I wanted, unfortunately the Fountain Lemon (which was obviously replaced by the Lemonade pictured at some point as they share the same stock number) labels had all stuck together and I didn't get one of them. When I asked how much he declined, and sent me only my way labels and resealers in hand. Nice guy. The rest of the trip was a bust, except that I was able to score some Ale-8-1 Kentucky's unofficial state drink. An unused bottle reciept in the same box identified the bottler as the Royal Crown Bottling Company of Prestensburg, KY.

Status: offline 		A trade for a near mint Piggly Wiggle Ginger Ale paper label nd/nr gained me this Mission Orange Drink sign, and a bottle; however, the one pictured is my Mission from Roanoke, VA that I already owned.




I'm starting to amass a decent collection of pre-Mission Beverages Mission items.

Status: offline 		Of course I went to the Gray Tennessee show this weekend. I ran into Grime 5, Dragon0421 who were both set up and of course the Madman himself. I also picked up some bottles starting with these Orange Crushes and oc related bottles. The one on the left is a Diet Crush, a 1939 tall amber Orange Crush from the Luckly Club company of St. Louis which is embossed on the bottom, a 7 oz OC Beverages Orange crush bottle that I may already have but no need to take chances, then there is the Old Colony, and the Wards upgrade from Knoxville which still has some issues but is much better than my present one.

Status: offline 		The next picture is of a Hires extraction variation I didn't have, a green paper label slick bottle with Orange Crush Bottling Company embossed on the shoulder but no town name that I got for free and knowing the digging habits of the person who the bottle came from it could possibly be local, Next is a Tenn-Cola from Knoxville, Tennessee slug plate, beside that is a Cunningham from Johnson City which was so nice I couldn't resist a double of, after that we have the narcissistic purchase which is a Joe's Better Beverages bottle, and finally a Delaware Punch acl I have been secretly wanting for a while.

Status: offline 		Well that's enough of the goofy buying, let's get down to the new local finds of the weekend. First up is the prize of the weekend and my favorite pick up, and that is a Lemon Kola from the Bluefield Candy Company of Bluefield, WVA, then there is the 3-c Nectar deco from Graham, VA which isn't perfect but by far better than the multiple cracked bottle it's replacing, then there is the Cleveland, VA Chero Soda water, and then the Pocahontas, VA version, and finally a find I didn't expect. It doesn't look like much; however, it is very interesting. It is a Chero-Cola Bottling Company of Pocahontas, VA straight side bottle. I find it odd that this company had this bottle when they had the Soda Water bottle, this either means they were operating as such prior to the creation of the soda water around 1924, or they bottled a non-Chero associated brand along with Chero, Orange Crush, and Good Grape.

I was online while you were posting last night, and it was like watching history being made. You didn't say whether or not your display was judged as they sometimes are, but it looks like a "Blue Ribbon"  winner to me. (Or should I say, "Orange" ribbon?). All of your bottles are killer, but I'm particularly interested in the "Crush Dry" in the lower center. What's the story on that one? And any chance of a close up image?

Thanks,

SPB

Status: offline 		I really didn't want to say anything, but yes there was a vote taken for "Most educational" and "People's Choice" and I didn't win either of them, losing out to my friend Geff's can display for People's Choice, and another club member's display of acls from A to Z, that had a painted label bottle displayed for each letter of the alphabet, which received "Most Educational". Apparently my display just didn't impress many who actually placed a vote; however, it did draw the most viewers throughout the show, according to my own observations, and that's really the point I guess.

Here is a picture of the Crush Dry I posted from when I first received it. Crush Dry was Orange Crush's entry into the "Sparkling Orange" market of the late 1920's and early 1930's, and competed with the more common Mission Sparkling Orange, Lemon, and Grapefruit flavors, College Inn Sparkling Orange, and the Canada Dry Sparkling Orange posted earlier in this very thread.
