RE: orange crush family - 4/22/2007 9:52:27 PM    bubbas dad Posts: 1366 Joined: 3/30/2005 From: South Carolina, USA Status: offline i wonder what the history on the pepsi is. that can't be very common for pepsi to be bottled by another bottler. _____________________________ john the older i get, the smarter my father gets!

RE: orange crush family - 4/22/2007 10:23:17 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline JOHN...bought my Mexican Crush at a local bottle show about 5 or 6 years ago... MADMAN...you'll get more. Nice truck pic. AS for the OCBC....I have some paperwork here  that I'll try and dig out and quote from: but the Marion Va Orange Crush Bottling Co contracted with either Owens-Illinois or Laurens Glass Co to have made up the above pictured Pepsi=Cola with OCBC on the neck.  Some I have owned have Marion VA on the bottom and some are unmarked. There's also a green 7 0z. example...MADMAN & I have dug several damaged ones lately. It has OCBC on the neck only and Marion VA on the bottom....no Pepsi. All the pics I have posted are taken from paperabilia I acquired a few years ago...from The Marion VA Orange Crush Bottling Co. They were a portion of the old files kept by the Company. Some other guy got to them before I did, but I still got some nice magazines, and letterheads. < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 4/22/2007 10:27:07 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: orange crush family - 4/23/2007 5:24:44 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Found that correspondence about the OCBC Pepsi=Cola. Seems it was from Chattanooga Glass Co ( and not the two I mentioned), and verified the embossment of the letters upon the neck as specified by Marion Orange Crush Bottling Co. Manager/Owner - Wythe Hull. Dated Aug 15, 1938. < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 4/24/2007 5:34:39 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: orange crush family - 4/23/2007 5:29:36 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline I also found another little tidbit of useful info while I was going through the documents: WHEN DID ORANGE CRUSH BEGIN USING AMBER GLASS BOTTLES??? This from an April 3, 1939 News Release: "The new Orange Crush bottle, made of a special brown glass, excludes these certain rays of sunlight and protects the delicate orange flavor of the beverage. It marks one of the greatest advances in the bottling industry in recent years..." < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 4/23/2007 5:30:12 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
