White Sox Cola from old Comiskey Park

Vulcan · Mar 17, 2011

I have a White Sox soda bottle from old Comiskey Park.
Can you guys help me decipher the markings on the bottom?

Any info about the bottling plant at old Comiskey Park?
Thanks.

1922? cool bottle

Thanks for the help. I suppose it is either 1922 or 1932

I haven't found the years of operation of the bottling plant at old Comiskey Park but I did I find the following information:
http://www.chicagobaseballmuseum.org/chicago-baseball-museum-Comisky-Park.php

[align=left]Comiskey Park Through the Years[/align] A $1 million renovation occurred at Comiskey Park after the 1926 season when the wooden bleachers were removed and replaced with double-deck seats. This renovation enclosed the stadium increasing the capacity from 32,000 to 52,000. The Comiskey family made money to operate the team on a small soda-pop bottling business under the stands.

That's a cool bottle. Are you going to sell it? Thank you for sharing a pic with us. Paul

At first I wasn't even sure what it was. Now that I am finding a little information about it, it seems pretty interesting and historic. Especially for the Chicago White Sox fans.
Who knows? Maybe Al Capone enjoyed a nice cola out of this very bottle while watching a game in Comiskey Park. lol

I'm not a white sox fan but I really like that soda bottle.

I wonder if other teams were represented? they would make a great collection.

The White Sox are the only team that had their own embossed bottle. Those bottles are not rare but very popular collectibles in both the bottle hobby and sports collectors hobby. I think I remember seeing one sell on ebay for about $75 within the last year.
