The 1852 marked bottles are referring to Ryan's founding year; 1852. These are his last bottles.
These dated John Ryans are I believe known to not be pontiled, and are all considered smooth bases. Here is one that is dated 1859 and so seems pontiled? Figured I would share.
Is this the same for the ginger ales?The 1852 marked bottles are referring to Ryan's founding year; 1852. These are his last bottles.
Nobody knows a reason that im aware of. The biggest mystery being the Columbus bottle dated 1883, when he sold his business in 1879.Thanks for the information. So what was the purpose for changing the bottle dates every 7 years?
