1925 image from National Bottler's Gazette. Sorry I didn't add it to the existing thread but apparently I can't upload to an existing thread from my hard drive.
Definitely the biggest auction house for soda collectibles -

Just received a bottle in the mail with a return address of Country Boy Bottles in Winterville NC. I probably bought a bottle from him recently but can't find a record of it. I buy a lot of bottles from ebay, emails, thru my website, phone calls, etc and can't place Country Boy.
Regardless, I...
Anyone have a link for Canadian Design patent information? I picked up this familiar shaped green bottle from the Toronto Soda Water Company with a patent date of: Sept. 13, 1924 and wondered if that was the Nu-Grape Design Patent date for Canada.
I just received this Coke Imitator bottle from Turkey. The script reads: Kola-Koka. Added it to the shelf alongside the Mexican Hobbleskirts Fosfo-Cola and Kola-Mundel. I'm still looking for the Lucky-Cola Hobbleskirt from Thailand and the Tam-Tam from Greece. Plus any similar bottles I find out...
I picked up a 1952 bottle design drawing from Hazel Atlas Glass for a deco "Lucky Cola" bottle located in Bangkok, Siam. I would love to find a bottle in this design.
There was a similar named drink in the US "Lucky Club Cola" that also used the horsehoe motif but it was a separate company.
Just picked these up:

Picked up a nice early Pepsi=Cola wood crate made for 24 six ounce bottles - presumably the 1929 "peanut" bottle listed by Ayers. The box ends have a four digit phone number along with the initials L.E.B.Co. which is likely Lake Erie Bottling Co. listed in the 1930 Blue Book.
Does anyone...
Interesting article in today's New York Times touching on cocaine in Coca-Cola and their battle with Pepsi.

A random Google Search a couple of weeks ago turned up a Celery=Cola Hutch for sale on Craigslist. This is the second one that has been listed on Craigslist recently. I missed the first one but was able to get this one as a trader.
Anyone see these books on ebay? They look like a great resource. I am bidding on the volumes 1924 through 1942 because that covers my main interest time frame. Plus buying the whole set would run close to a thousand bucks at minimum bid!
I plan to scan them into .pdf files and will be happy...
