High Rock Ginger Ale Co bottle question
BB If you don't mind, I'm currently working on a study of Glenshaw seltzer bottles in an attempt to try and make sense of the various designs in connection with various Glenshaw marks/letters/numbers on the bases. It might take me a couple of days to complete and I will be back later unless...- SODAPOPBOB

High Rock Ginger Ale Co bottle question
BB Its possible the 10 is an I0 I have seen Glenshaw seltzer bottles with the letters G H I K L M N followed by numbers Typically they used a 1 with a slant-top for the number 'one' and a lower-case l for an 'L' If the mark on your bottle is a lower-case 'l' (L) it might stand for 1937...- SODAPOPBOB

High Rock Ginger Ale Co bottle question
BB Welcome to the forum. Check the lip area of your bottle and see if it has a micro-small letter or number. Sometimes you have to use a magnifying glass to see them. If it has one, compare it to this list for when your bottle was made. If it doesn't have a letter/number on the lip, what is...- SODAPOPBOB

Vernors Ginger Ale 150th B-Day
Most of the histories written about James Vernor and his ginger ale state he had a soda fountain in his first drug store on the corner of Woodward Avenue and Clifford Street. I'm merely challenging those numerous histories in that I cannot find a single reference between 1866 and 1880 that...- SODAPOPBOB

Vernors Ginger Ale 150th B-Day
The same applies to this 1867 newspaper article where it says ... "Messrs. Vernor and L'Hommedieu, for the free use of a soda fount." It only confirms they loaned what was probably a portable soda fount. It does not confirm there was a full service soda fountain in James Vernor's and Charles...- SODAPOPBOB

Vernors Ginger Ale 150th B-Day
MCglass With all do respect ... 1. That 1868 newspaper advertisement does not confirm there was a full service soda fountain in James Vernor's drug store. It only confirms he had what was probably a portable fount for sale. 2. I found that 1868 advertisement and originally posted it...- SODAPOPBOB

Another Amber 7up Question
However ... This doesn't mean I believe the ACL label on Jb's 7up bottle was applied in 1929. I'm having a real problem with that! I'm still leaning toward a circa 1935 ACL label applied to a repurposed 1929 bottle!- SODAPOPBOB

Another Amber 7up Question
Back to the 29S6 7up ACL ... I thought this was extremely interesting. I believe its a 'transition' mark used by Owens-Illinois in 1930. Notice it has the typical Owens-Illinois <(I)> mark but without the plant code and date code on either side. However, it does have 30S. I believe the S stands...- SODAPOPBOB

Another Amber 7up Question
7update ... Those of us who are familiar with the early-day history of 7up know that bottlers were required to provide their own bottles, which explains the various sizes and colors that appeared on the market until they finally got a handle on standardizing. Some of those early paper label...- SODAPOPBOB

Another Amber 7up Question
Jb Your "Best Ever Bottling Co." bottle is mucho interesting. If it wasn't for the paper label there would be no way of identifying it as being a 7up bottle. I took a quick look around and according to this first ad about their 11th anniversary it places their start date at about 1924. I...- SODAPOPBOB

Another Amber 7up Question
Update ... I can only speak for myself, but based on what I've seen so far I'm strongly leaning toward the possibility that Jb's 29S6 amber bottle was made in 1929. As for the ACL 7up label on the 29S6 amber bottle, well, that's a horse of a different color that has me totally confused because...- SODAPOPBOB

Just for the record ... According to various, reliable accounts, the Owens-Illinois Glass Company was officially established on ... April 17, 1929 ... which was four months before the Pepsi Cola 'Pinch' bottle patent was filed on August 20, 1929- SODAPOPBOB
