    Anyone know the history of O-So Grape Soda or the company

    If you look at the trade ads I posted a couple pages back, the July 1952 ad is the first to list 1015 S Washington St, Peoria IL as the address for the "O-So Grape Company". Before that it was 1931 W 3rd St, Chicago

    Not related to conover, but this 1965 trademark renewal shows that they eventually changed the corporate name from the o-so grape company to bubble up corporation: https://pluto.wyo.gov/awweb/awarchive?type=file&item=11176615 Has some date details in it too... Still looking for the original...

    Hoping to learn about Frostie-like bottle found in crawl space

If a paper label bottle or any other early catonsville bottles show...

    I don't think you are ever going to find "Frostie" being advertised / in phone books as being bottled in 1943. It was still just "Old Fashion" in commercial production at that time. Remember the Frostie trademark documents? "In commerce - April, 1946 (August 25, 1944 AS TO "Frostie")". The other...

    Forgot about this one... Comes from an archived ebay auction (https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-root-beer-bottle-476430857). Though there is no picture, the seller states the bottom says: 7425-3B46 which should mean 1946. I find this one interesting because if you look at the...

    Hopefully some day a paper label version of that slick side bottle shows up so we can see what was really on it! Like the main bottle that inspired this thread, there's gotta be one sitting in someones walls :) The creator of this thread did send me a couple shots of the bottom of the "Old...
