    I cannot figure out what kind of soda pop bottle this is. Can someone please help me? It looks like it’s in English and another language also.

    Hi- From what I can make out from the few letters, I believe the language is Hebrew. But since I am not literate in Hebrew, I must leave it to others more familiar with the language to reply if my guess is correct.

    Paper labels on round bottom ginger ale bottles

    Hello all, Ginger Ale collector (aka Ken) here. Recently we had an interesting thread on the "Before 1900, what is it?" forum. It is about a identifying a round bottom bottle from just a few remnants of the label. https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/blob-top-bottle-partial-label.699924/ In...

    Blob-top bottle partial-label

    Hi CanadianBottles, you are right, there are not many intact examples of labels on round bottom bottles. The labels either deteriorated or were washed off to reuse the bottle. When I get a chance, I will get some pics of the ones in my collection and post them. Thanks for your kind remarks. Ken P.

    Blob-top bottle partial-label

    Hi Hank, you're welcome. Thanks for posting the "puzzle." It was fun to do, and frankly, when I started on it, I doubted it would be possible to come up with anything at all. Determination and quite a bit of luck helps. Ken P.

    Blob-top bottle partial-label

    Hello all, Ginger ale Collector here. I was intrigued by Hladnopivo’s (Hank) partial label on a round bottom bottle. Somehow the traces of the label were familiar to me. So, with a little detective work and browsing my collection of round bottom ginger ales, we might have a pretty good...

    Hi Andy- I probably was at the 1994 Balto show. I set up there as a dealer for over 25 years starting in 1989. Will send PM to see if I have such a bottle! Ken

    Ginger ale ID

    Hello bottlecrazy, Ginger Ale Collector here, otherwise known as Ken. You have found what I think is a quite rare ginger ale bottle! While I haven't gone and searched the business records for 1885 in New York, I can add a twist to the Fitzsimons story. First, in all of my years collecting ginger...

    why would a bottle have a rounded bottom,cannot stand on it's own

    Hello all. Ginger Ale Collector here. Having studied the round bottom bottle for a number of years I found that this site (link at end of post) has the most complete and well-documented information on the subject. (The site is also excellent for all kinds of information on old bottles.) Also...

    Hello from the Ginger Ale Collector- need help contacting a member about a ginger ale

    Hey judu4- thanks for replying! Never knew where it was from. I am interested, but of course it depends on what "just a bit of damage" means. . . :-). And the real important part is how strong and clean the embossing is. Let me know, either here or in a private message. Thanks. Ken.
