a different christo cola

[bubbas dad]

just added this bottle to my collection and wanted to share. i have seen this type chisto cola about three times before. i think it must be fairly scarce but i'm not sure. it's in really great shape althought i wish it weren't so purple tinted. i am quessing at a date of around the 20's. if anyone has any information i would appreciate it very much.

Hey John, Great bottle. Never seen a Christo like that.

thanks warren for the reply. i've seen 2 others. it's got to be a slightly later version of the ones you usually see. i sure hope someone has some info on it.

That is sweet looking. That and the perfection and other oddballs of similar shape if there are any would make a cool little group I think.

I had one of these Christo's years ago and thought it pretty rare. I think it may be from Richmond where Christo-Cola and Ginger was manufactured by the Christian Brothers Manufacturing Co. The only rarer one is the half gallon fruit jar embossed Christo Ginger Ale that contained fountain syrup.
