Olive green Orange Crush Binghamton, Ny

ACLbottles · Mar 21, 2014

Just scored this beautiful olive colored orange crush bottle from eBay. I got it for $28.88, which I thought was a little underpriced, but I'm not complaining! It has a tooled top and many bubbles. It's embossed around the shoulder: Orange-Crush Bottling Co. On the heel it says Purity Beverage Corp. On the other side of the heel it says Cap. 6 Fl. Oz./ Binghamton, N.Y. Does anyone know how scarce these are? There is a much more common aqua colored bottle, but I can't find much about this one. Thanks for any info.[attachment=IMG_1285.JPG] [attachment=IMG_1287.JPG] [attachment=IMG_1288.JPG]

Oh yeah, and I meant to ask Is this listed in Michael Rosman's book on Orange Crush bottles?

I don't know about the bottle's rarity, but here's a little info about the Binghamton, New York bottling plant ... 1922 http://books.google.com/books?id=y3stAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=Orange+Crush+bottle+Binghamton,+Ny&source=bl&ots=eg_tM6Wpix&sig=f18t7zbCISlvawHQzUFJ_9pyvx4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Yt0sU5jGDsa6yQGirIHgAQ&ved=0CGEQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=Orange%20Crush%20bottle%20Binghamton%2C%20Ny&f=false

P.S. This is a little experiment I am toying with regarding certain files that can't be easily copy/pasted but can be "translated" as seen here. This is the 1922 article word for word ...
PLANT IN BINGHAMTON FOR MAKING SOFT DRINKS

One of the largest establishments of the kind for the manufacture of soft drinks has been opened by the Purity Beverage Corporation in Binghamton NY which owns and operates the Orange Crush Bottling Co. The business is now housed in a most modern building with every appliance for convenience and sanitation. The records of the company show that in their plant they had an output of 2,084,000 bottles of their beverages including orange crush, lemon crush, lime crush, Tuxedo ginger ale, cherry blossoms, buckeye root beer, cream soda and sarsaparilla, which are sold in large quantities to hotels, restaurants, tea rooms, etc. The company also manufactures the popular brand of purity ice cream.

And here's the same article in Spanish. But I'm not sure where the punctuation (periods-commas-etc.) go. The various translations are not automatically punctuated.

It was a soda flavored with swamp root.[

Thanks for the info so far. Why do you think they would make a bottle in this color instead of using aqua?

The mint bottle in this version is listed in Mike Rusman book is listed for $20 to $25 It is a 6oz 1925 Purity Beverage Corp. Made in Binghampton NY and Oneonta NY. There is also a 15oz bottle in mint I have seen the green color that you have but the price is always to high. It seems that all green orange crush bottles sell very high. Did you get this of ebay last week?

By 'mint' you mean an aqua color, right?
