I know little to nothing about Orange Crush bottles but that looks to be Tooled Top / Hand Finished and much different than any other Orange Crush I've ever seen. I will be interested in seeing / hearing what the soda guys have to say. Jim

There was a thread about these bottles in the soda section a year or so ago, these are seen often here in central NY.. I think these were flavor bottles and not ORANGE CRUSH, they came in larger sizes and in some killer colors of green as well.. My guess is it would date to the late teens or early 20's, more than likely made at the Binghamton Glass Co., they made bottles into the 20's and never updated to automatic bottle machines, hence the later tooled lips...

Thanks for the info...I did pick this up at an auction just south of Albany with a bunch of other bottles...Just piqued my interest because all the other Crush bottles I've seen were all the ribbed style and not smooth...I'm mostly a lightning rod collector, but bottles and jars seem to get in my way..!!..Thanks for all the replies..!!!

Here are two different green Orange Crush bottles I have... The green color on the right I've run across more often than the one on the left...
