Just picked up a straight side 6oz Purity Beverages Orange Crush. I’m more a crush guy than any else, but just couldn’t pass on getting this 28oz ndnr 7up.
I do believe it is tooled, but I’m not an expert by any means. But as for the date as far as I can tell it’s mid to late twenties.At that time a few small companies were bottling orange crush, like this crush was bottled by purity beverages. It’s the most primitive orange crush bottle I’ve come across to date.Is that a tooled lip Orange Crush? Must be a pretty early one, never came across one of those before. Were they using non-standardized bottles before the iconic deco bottle came into use?
I do have a 7oz that resembles this 28oz and I do believe I have seen a 10oz. I do come across the small ones on a regular basis, but I have never seen or knew of this 28oz till I stumbled on it. I like my crush but embossing on the ndnr bottles are fantastic.The orange crush is a nice one. I like the big 28 oz. 7up. I find the small ones alot on the surface, not sure their size.

That seems pretty late for a tooled lip bottle from the US. That's right at the end of the tooled lip era here in Canada, where we were about a decade behind the US in modernizing our glass factories. If it didn't say Orange Crush, I would have guessed that your bottle dated to around 1905, but of course that's not possible since Orange Crush hadn't been invented yet that early. It is a US bottle, right? I'd be curious to see the other side of it as well. Does it say Ward's on it? I zoomed in close and I'm pretty certain it's a tooled lip bottle. Do you know when they started franchising Orange Crush? Typically I wouldn't expect to see a bottle like this made after 1915 or so, but that's only within a few years of Orange Crush being founded. Unless this is a totally unrelated earlier product coincidentally also called Orange Crush, which I suppose is possible too.I do believe it is tooled, but I’m not an expert by any means.

Not sure on when orange crush started franchising, but I assume it was before this bottle was made.That seems pretty late for a tooled lip bottle from the US.
