Okay. I was wandering around in the woods off the side of the road in my hometown, not really being too serious, but casually looking and I found this old Whistle soda bottle right on the surface of the ground, barely covered with pine needles! I did some research and I found that the WHISTLE bottling co. is from Missouri and operated in the 1930s.
Here's my question. How popular was this brand and when did the company stop producing soda (or if they are still making it)? Additionally, I seem to read on the net that this is a bit of a rare bottle/soda brand. Furthermore, since it was a company from Missouri, I'm thinking it is even more rare to find them here on the east coast in NJ?
Does anyone remember this soda? Any info is much appricated!
There are two numbers on the bottom of the bottle: 7 and 5(or a 2, 3, or 8, hard to see).
It is stated as Whistle Registered.
