I just found this at a barn sale. It looked cool to me and it is BIG! It is 11" tall. The metal lid is still with the bottle. I have seen other bottles like this, but smaller AND with more writing embossed on the bottle. Mine just has "VESS DRY SHAKER" embossed on the bottle along with some embossed letters/numbers on the bottom. Looking to get more info on this as to rarity, age, etc. May sell, but not not sure. Thanks in advance and hope to find out more about this great bottle!

I have 2 Vess Soda cans so I'm going to guess it's a soda bottle, Why the odd shape? I don't know but I've seen other soVESS.JPGda bottles with a similar shape. LEON.

The other bottles similar to this stated they were for Ginger Ale because of the word "DRY" embossed on them. But, this also has the word SHAKER. I don't know...

Hmmm....very interesting! I will search for "waist" bottle and see if I can find more info. I showed it to a friend who is more knowledgable with bottles than myself and he said he has never seen one that large, but he has seen that shape/type bottle. He said it is definately worth doing some research and it may be a very rare find! thanks for the info and I'll do some research on "waist" bottles.

Does this Vess bottle have a perforated metal cap? If the meaning of "Shaker" is the same as in "salt shaker" or "water shaker" (for ironing fabric), there should be perforations. Re-purposing was popular during the 30s and 40s . . . food jars designed to be re-purposed as coin banks is an example.

No, it does not. The cap screws on, or rather kind of 'locks' into place on the top and the cap is solid.
