neat bottle , don't know anything about it , we had steamships operate here on our area lakes and is a couple still in service today . I haven't seen a pop bottle before with them on it

I just checked mine...1938 O/I...no city. I have it in the Arkansas display, natch.For what it's worth I have never heard of them coming from Memphis, just Clarksdalse, MS and Forrest City, AR, but Memphis sure seems logical and makes me wonder if the owners of either Union/Liberty also had part interest in the other two sites.Years ago I saw a sparkling mint Forrest City version...the ask price (back in the 90's, mind you) was $1200...firm.Never saw it again! Mine is a 8+/9 front with a 4 reverse purchased as a spring St Louis show for a $50 bill the year after I saw the $1200 one.
