Shenandoah Beverage CO S. Washington, VA

[weezeepants]

Anybody seen this one? I cannot find anything concerning the Shenandoah Beverage CO. I'm hoping its a good one ... got my fingers crossed. It's one that I didn't have so it's another VA bottle for my collection.

Any info would be appreicated.

Thank you!

I've seen the bottle before, but don't know much about it.

It's listed as RARITY-5 in the book "Early Embossed Virginia Soda Bottles 1880-1914" by Phil & Anthony Townsend. RARITY-5 means "Extremely Rare - 5 or fewer examples known".

On the other hand, I know I've seen this bottle before. I collect Washington DC bottles, and I remember seeing this bottle with "WASHINGTON" embossed on it, and getting excited thinking it was a DC bottle until I looked closer.
