  1. 1895 Bolen & Byrne Soda Bottle

    1895 Bolen & Byrne Soda Bottle

    This blob top soda bottle was made for Bolen & Byrne of 423rd East 54th street NYC in 1895. It most likely contained ginger ale. B&B purported to have been the first sellers of ginger ale in the USA starting in 1857, though this claim is difficult to substantiate. They declared bankruptcy in 1903.

    Found Five 1980s Soda Bottles (Like Perfect Condition)

    So, I work in an old building at my university, and I have this odd key that opens up two separate rooms; one room I use often (which is why I was given the key), the other room I had never seen open before. I got bored last night at work, so I decided to unlock the door and go inside. I swear...

    Shawmut Soda Bottle

    I have found two bottles that say "Shawmut" on the side. They were produced by P.J. McCarthy & Sons out of Sherborn MA and couldn't have been any later than 1941 as that company shut down when the US' involvement in WWII began. P.J. McCarthy & Sons started in 1912 and was mainly a cider mill...

    Nocafeen Bottle

    This is a bottle I fished out of the Charles a few years ago. I have found almost nothing about it online, even here there is only one thread about it from 2006.
