I have a limited supply of Vernor's bottles in my office at work. But, I have a decent representation of the eras, not including the very early paper labels. Attached is a photo of an embossed bottle with "registered" embossed on it. All the ACLs and cans say Reg US Pat Off right up to the late 1960s. After that it's the R. I don't have a delivery boy paper label here or the diamond shaped label. I can look at those later tonight.

None of mine say Registered below the IN RED or anywhere else on the bottle. Does that one you showed above have any codes like G25 or anything else? LEON.

I don't want to jump the gun, but the earliest use of "Registered" I'm aware of is connected with the 1911 Trademark.

My recently acquired 1906-Statement bottle does not have "Registered" on it. Nor does it have a makers mark or any other type of date codes, etc. I suspect anything with "Registered" on it dates to 1911 or later.

Bob, why does my 1923 & 25 Glenshaw bottles have the monogram & ounces content but no Registered? LEON.

Check this out regarding the 1895 and 1905 Trademark laws ...

Dated 1913

https://books.google.com/books?id=t...age&q=February 20, 1895 Trademark law&f=false


By the way, I like what you said about "identifiable" bottles ...

"This could be the earliest Vernor's bottle type that we can identify. Maybe not the earliest Vernor's bottle (for carbonated soda pop, that is), but the earliest we can identify."

That might be as good as it gets to even coming close to identifying and dating the first/earliest bottles.

Any/All Vernor's Ginger Ale paper labels other than those we've already seen ... if they exist?
