Do you still have these? Are you collecting Berkeley club, or just an all around wv bottle collector?

I have a 1939 r/w labeled quart that is not pictured above. There are no cutaways on the front, and the back label is especially interesting because it lists each ingredient separately with the amount in grains per volume. ~bottlingco

 

[celerycola]

1907 order card for Berkeley Springs Bottling Works. Among the Nationally advertised brand-name drinks were Celery-Cola, Koca-Nola, Ron-Bre, Peach Mellow, and Rasport. This order for sixteen cases was for a store in Maryland, just a few miles down the Potomac River. I would bet they were delivered by barge.

The old bottling works building is currently for sale - the contents long since removed. There's a great display of Berkeley Springs bottles and signs in one of the local antique shops just across from the springs. I will be passing through there twice next week - stopping Sunday after the Fourth for the farmers market in front of the courthouse. Peaches should be in now.

Nice, Berkley Club was always a popular bottle/brand

I've threatened to take a trip out that way on this trip. Are there enough antique shops to make that diversion worth it?
