Is anyone familiar with this brand, I figure it is from Hayward California, but am not sure.. Cannot post pics as camera is not working....Andy

Andy I noticed in your profile that you are from Sacramento, California, so you are probably familiar with the San Francisco bay area. The city of Hayward is about 20 miles southeast of San Francisco and is on the east side of the bay. I'm assuming the bottle pictured here is the same or similar to the one you have. It is the only example I was able to find. (More info and pictures to follow) [attachment=Haywards Soda Work..co Bottle front.jpg] [attachment=Haywards Soda Work.Deco Bottle base.jpg]

According to the attached newspaper article, The Hayward Bottling Works was established in 1884. However, the information on this link about Simon J. Simon, who started the bottling works, says it was established in the early 1890s and that Simon operated it until his death in 1928. I have seen ads for it as late as 1930, so some of this information is a little sketchy. By the way, I looked on Google Earth and the location at 1164 B Street, Hayward, California, is now a parking lot in Hayward's commercial district. http://www.onlinebiographies.info/ca/alam/simons-sj.htm Newspaper Article from ... 1. The Oakland Tribune ~ Oakland, California ~ June 29, 1910 There are a lot of newspaper ads for Hayward Bottling Works, but about 99% of them advertise Orange Crush, such as this one from ... 2.

P.S. Andy Did you look closely on the heel for a makers mark, date code, and/or any patent information?

I had to do some digging but found this. It is just a brief announcement with no accompanying article. At one point the city of Hayward was called "Haywards." Snippet From ...

P.S. According to historical accounts, the "S" in "HAYWARDS" was dropped and changed to "HAYWARD" in 1894

So if you had a Haywards bottle (plural) I'd guess that would be much older & valuable. Interesting. LEON.

Not necessarily. I was thinking the same thing at first but have seen post-1894 bottles that have "Haywards" on them. Even Andy's deco bottle has "Hayward's" with an apostrophe. Apparently the original 1884 Haywards Soda Works was started by a man by the name of J. A. Collins and was then taken over by S. J. Simons around 1910. This link is where I found the two Hutchinson bottles pictured, the first one of which is a J. A. Collins, and the other is a S. J. Simons. Both of them say Haywards with 's' http://goo.gl/vUkyXW [attachment=Hayward Soda Works J. A. Collins.jpg] [attachment=Hayward Soda Works S. J. Simons.jpg]

P.S. Notice on the link that the S. J. Simons bottle is marked with P.C.G.W. Which translates to ... P.C.G.W. = Pacific Coast Glass Works, San Francisco, CA (1902-1925).

The embossing on this circa 1910 Haywards Soda Works bottle is a little hard to see, but it is marked Haywards with an 's' and S. J. Simons ... [attachment=Haywards Soda Work...t-sided bottle.jpg]
