Hey, this is my first day on this site. I wanna share a quick story then ask a question about a bottle.
Two days ago (Friday) I was with my grandparents out in Gibson Co. Tennessee, we decided to stop by my great great grandfathers house, which he built in 1888. It is still standing and the backyard of the house is filled with a fews acres of woods with the outhouse still up. It has been turned into a well known haunted house run by the Lions club and is vacant when it is not October. Anyway we were walking back in the woods and came across a few glass bottles. I started looking for more and came to realize that they were everywhere. Under all the ivy and leaves there were pieces of rusted tin and under the tin it was filled with glass bottles and jars. Most everything I found were bottles or jars (Ball, Purex, Clorox, Speas Vinegars, Coca-cola and milk jugs) and buried deep in the ground, many were not labeled on the glass. I did find an iron tractor and the top of a coca-cola cooler which reads "Drink Coca-Cola". My great grandfather who grew up in the house was the owner of a coke bottling plant back in the 20's and 30's which would explain the coke items. I ended up taking about 25 bottles/jars home.
Anyway sorry to bore you, the main reason I am writing is to get some info on a soda company called "Good Grape". I found a Good Grape bottle in great condition but I can't find any information on it anywhere. There is one on ebay w/5 days left but searching the internet shows no real results. Hopefully someone can help. Any information on anything would be appreciated. Thanks
