ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
P.S. / Just for the record ... I realize that most of the accounts I posted refer to December of 1934, which could easily have rolled over into early 1935. But even with that said, the next accounts for Royal Crown Cola don't surface again until September and October of 1935. "Next time" I'm...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
1934? Next time I'm going to dig even deeper and see if I can find a bottle, bottle cap, or a paper label to account for all of these claims about 1934. I used to think that 1934 was strictly the test market period for Royal Crown Cola and that it was some type of a secret. But now I'm seeing...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
These photos of a 1956 RC bottle were sent to me by Doug Porter - who is the same individual that shared his amazing RC paper label bottle with us earlier. It appears to be in near-mint condition and confirms that excellent examples of this bottle can still be found. Doug takes great photos...- SODABOB

Unless something definitive turns up I have decided to call it quits on this discussion by going out on a limb with the following dates for these paper labels. I fully acknowledge that the dates have not been confirmed and are based entirely on a best guess basis. Hopefully someone will...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
I hope I'm not overdoing this but I am determined to try and find a Royal Crown Cola bottle or paper label from 1934 or 1935. Even though I have pretty much given up on the bottles, I'm still hopeful of finding a paper label from that time period. Speaking of which, these two paper labels are...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
Here's my primary focus at the moment. The so-called mystery label seems to tie-in nicely with this 1935 RC pyramid trademark. Hence, my question if this could be the first Royal Crown Cola paper label? Like I said previously, this is the only example of this particular label that I have ever...- SODABOB

Last but not Least? / Paper Label Timeline? It's one thing to try and date the bottles, with the later ones being a lot easier to date than the earlier ones. But it's another thing altogether to try and date paper labels. Please keep this in mind because the following is based on a number of...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
These articles depict a Muskogee, Oklahoma bottler's transition from the old bottles in 1956 to the new bottles in 1959. Even though there are similar transitions, I selected this one because it includes a lot of cool information and photos. They apparently began bottling Royal Crown Cola around...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
Thanks, Rich I'm not certain but this RC bottle on eBay might be a 1956. The reason I'm not certain is because the second digit might be a 58 for 1958. But even if it is a 1956 I'm holding out for one in better condition. If anyone wants to take a chance on it you might be able to get it by...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
It took me a several hours of searching but I finally found a 1956 12 Oz. RC bottle. This is the only one I found so they must be super rare. There is no indication where it's from. Nor do I know if it was a test market bottle. All I know is that where there is one there must be others. This...- SODABOB

New Discovery / New Bottle / In Search of This may not be a new discovery for some of you but it is to me.

Now that we have a good idea of what an original paper looks like, compare it to the examples I attached.

The bottle is marked on the base with...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
Due to the controversy involving real paper labels vs fake paper labels, I consider this label on the Collector's Weekly website to be a real label. The main reason I say that is because the bottlers name is on it, which is from Duluth, Minnesota. It seems highly unlikely to me that if someone...- SODABOB

I received the Royal Crown Ginger Ale bottle yesterday that I spoke about in Post #39. Even though I have done some extensive research to try and date and identify it, it's still a total mystery. The bottle is in near-mint condition and the label is real and appears to be original to the bottle...- SODABOB

ROYAL CROWN COLA BOTTLE / GLENSHAW GLASS CO.
Even though this thread did not provide us with a Royal Crown Cola bottle that can definitely be attributed to the Glenshaw Glass Co. from either 1935 or 1936, it did focus a little more attention on the Glenshaw codes and that the GH might stand for 1936 and the GI code might stand for 1937. I...- SODABOB

P.S. This ad is from 1929 so it gives us a general idea when the Royal Crown Ginger Ale label with the camels and pyramids was used. I believe the label with the crown is earlier than this one - but I'm not sure how much earlier. Bob- SODABOB

Bad News = I received the Par-T-Pak bottle I spoke about on Post #35 that the seller described as being marked with 3 LGW 6 for 1936 but it is actually marked with 3 LGW 9 for 1939. So that was a bust. 2. Bad News = I had been watching this Royal Crown Ginger Ale...- SODABOB
