Newport is another of those T-tiny towns and none of the locals remember a Gay-Ola co there.
Gay-Ola in pretty script on both shoulders above smaller block letters stating, "It's Better." On the base, one side says, "Newport Bottling Works, Newport, Tenn." The other says, "This bottle...
Strange shape - but that's what is embossed on the bottom of the bottle. I am not sure, but I think Corbin is another of those towns that was super small.....
Bottom marked, 9 I-O 7 above a 1.
Any comments or info?
Hi
I am a nephew of Kathy's / thesodafizz
Kathy had a massive stroke on the operating table last week on the 19th. She was in ICU for 6 days to be moved to triage. She begins rehab Monday.
Affected most are her speech and right side, especially her arm. She is right handed, which...
A question from a freind, Bill Baab (Augusta, Ga.). I told him I didn't know, but figured if anyone would know - this would be the place to start.
Any info on a 1920s-30s bottle embossed HONEY BOY? No town, just 8 ozs and it was made by the Laurens Glass Works.

I guess Cheetos stains make a bargain out of it...
I have posted some of the photos I took Saturday of the Columbia, S.C. show. They may help identify some of the dealer's tables (and the dealers) that Pat took photos of, but did not know. Hopefully, I have all the dealers captioned correctly. If not, please do let me know (before the photos...
I have spoken with the book committee and hope I can answer some of the questions I have been getting in the past weeks so everyone gets the same answer at the same time. Here goes:
The one I've had most has been the question of credit for contributions. Having done both magazines for...
I get stuff like this all the time. Now I have somewhere to share it besides the magazines. Hope this helps - at least it is interesting to see this kind of stuff all in one place and so nicely done...I get stuff like this all the time. Now I have somewhere to share it besides the magazines...
