16 OZ HIPPO SIZE SODA WATER

[ROBDABOLINA]

I know these are fairly common, however, this is the first one I've found that is 16 oz as compared to the other's I normally see which are 13 ounces. its also from the San Antonio Bottling Company as opposed to the Alamo Bottling Company. also, its embossed with 'THE BIGGEST BOTTLE FOR 5 CTS. the 13 ounce ones I've found are normally from the '50, early 60's and I can usually find the date on the bottle. I can't on this one. any ideas if its older or younger? thanks in advance...

That is the older variety. They come in 16, 15 and 13 ounces. The 16 and 15 with embossing on the base go for $15 and the 13 ounce for $5-10.

thanks Jay! I see a series of numbers and letters on the base - 30 S I - could this mean 1930?
