Mint-Cola from Georgia

Nice original 1920 ad from Augusta GA newspaper.

Nice.

Don't see much Mint Cola advertisements out there. Nice!

Here's the bottle that nearly matches that ad.

labelled NC Mint-Colas

Here are two Mint-Cola bottles from ads I've found. I sell 17" tall posters of the bottle on the left at bottle shows. It shows the mint leaves embossed below the circled monogram. The one on the right is from the 1920 ad above and does not have the mint leaves. It is also missing the 5c on the label. Both bottles are embossed Salisbury, NC.

Sweet bottle. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of it.

Hey everybody, this is the first time I've been on here in a while! I have a Mint Cola bottle that is identical to the ones in the ad that are embossed with Salisbury, NC, except my bottle is embossed Norton, VA for the town name. I found an ad for Mint Cola in a 1915 Norton, VA newspaper. If I can find the bottle, I'll try to post a picture.

Mint Cola from Norton, VA? is there bottler information embossed on the side like mine is?

I'm still trying to figure out that ACL Mint Cola. I thought they stopped bottling Mint Cola in the 30's in favor of Cheerwine?
