Bowdon Georgia soda shard.

[BOTTL3CRAV3]

I recently acquired this shard of a slug plate soda from Bowdon Georgia thy was found 135 miles away. Wish I could find a whole one! Bowdon is a very small town that hasn’t grown much since this bottle was produced.

According to Barnett & Nease's book on Georgia crown tops, it was shoulder embossed "Gay-Ola", and the only Bowdon bottle listed. Brokes like that are what keep us going.

Sure was! Wish I could find one. The guy that found it found a whole one in the same area. Not sure what he sold it for but it was sweet

I found a fragment of the slug plate of one of those in northeast Ga a few years back

Man that’s sweet. I wonder why they travel so far? Railroad maybe

That would be my guess as well , I’ve found broken straight side cokes from Columbus and Tifton , a broken West Point bottle and many others that aren’t local at the same place

As well as these two heart breakers ...
