Instead of looking for the Prohibition era soda bottles themselves, which is extremely time consuming and kind of confusing, I'm now looking to see if someone has already put together the type of list you are attempting to compile. I haven't found an actual list yet, but there are indicators as to how many breweries were able to remain in operation during Prohibition, some of which that have already been posted. As for the others, well, there were lots of them. But how many of them bottled soft drinks remains to be determined. Here's a sampling of how many brewers we're talking about ...
Approximate number of Brewers in America from the late 1800s to 1932 ...
Late 1800s = Close to 4,000
1918 = About 1,000
1920 = About 500
1932 = Fewer than 200
