I received delivery on this wonderful deco earlier this week.
Had anyone else heard that the name was a 'play' on Nehi?
Does anyone know if there is a clear glass variant?
This bottle had been on my want list long before I began collecting deco sodas.
Bottled from 1928 to WW II, Ankle Deep was the creation of R. A. Reid of David City, Nebraska. It was later franchised to bottlers in other Nebraska cities: in Grand Island, Norfolk, Columbus and Ravenna.
Reid said he came up with the name, but couldn't remember why.
He also told reporters that although he could not copyrite the bottle shape, he did get a 'Design Patent' which is displayed on all three sides.
