BELLINGRATH COCA COLA LITTLE ROCK AR

digger mcdirt · Mar 16, 2009

Last night at Church a lady brought me a few bottles they had found Sat while tearing down a old shed on her farm. Among them was this one I have not seen before. It is very early abm or maybe even a crude applied crown top (it has the seams on side that do not meet up with the top seams and there is the ring around top neck area as if the two were put together very crude) it is embossed Bellingrath on both sides then below Property of Coca Cola Bottling Co then on the other side 6 1/2 fl ozs Little Rock Ark . I have not seen this one it doesn't seem to be like any Coca Cola flavor bottle I have seen before with a name embossed on it. Bottom has a large TLB and LR which I would say is the bottler and Little Rock. Anyone ever seen this one before? Is it a Coca Cola Soda Water or another product Coca Cola put out?

Side 2 note crude top and the ring around it where it looks like the two were put together.

Bottom I would say the TLB is the bottler and the LR is Little Rock

Here's four that came out of the shed they were terrible but I soaked them last night and they came out good. The Chero Cola is from Ripley Tenn , the Bellingrath from Little Rock, the Pepsi is from Cookeville Tenn but it has a Jackson Tenn cap on it and the small sixe Dr Pepper ACL. She also found some plain meds and jars that she brought along.

I did find out on line Bellingrath got one of the original Coca Cola franchises and bottled around Mobile and Little Rock. I would say it was his Plants Soda Water and he used his name so it would come back to them. bob

NICE LADY TO DO SUCH A THING! THE BOTTLE YOU 1ST SHOW LOOKS LIKE A BI-MOLD MEETS THE BOTTLE MACHINE SOME HOW! JAMIE

Hey Digger, you have an unlisted Chero Cola there. It is not even listed on the good sites with the company's list of towns. That is a great find.

Yep, that Bellingrath is very similar to the Selma one, I have pictured here. There were several plants run by the Bellingraths. Walter had the Coke plant in Mobile, and his brother had one in Selma. Then, their sister or another cousin had the one in Little Rock.

And I'm sure everyone is familiar with Bellingrath's Mobile, AL bottle. If not, here is very ornate Bellingrath flavor water bottle.
