Hello Carol,

All I found was that the name is "active," and

"Company Name: UNITED EXTRACT CO
Status: Active Filing Date: 11/12/1921
Entity Type: Domestic Fictitious Name File Number: 2522471
Filing State: Pennsylvania (PA)
Company Age: 91 Years, 11 Months
Principal Address:
Unknown
Philadelphia Pa,

Registered Agent:
None Listed" From.

and the possibility that "922 › Cohen, Harry (p. 328)" Pay site. may somehow be connected. The previous link is purported to be of the 1922 Philadelphia Directory.

I like the buxom ribbed style.

I don't know about that one specifically, but that general shape of bottle was used by many companies. Among these were Coca-Cola imitator Kel-Ola and the Spring Water Bottling Works, a Niagara Falls bottler.

You have an Art Deco soda bottle, from the 20's or 30's.

Thanks for the information everyone sent on both the Kay-O choc. bottle and the Leon's Sunshine extract bottle. I appreciate it very much. I am still a bit confused about the Leon's although info provided is helpful. Was extract another name for a soda flavor, or rootbeer? Seems odd it is a non specified flavor on the bottle. That style bottle wouldn't be used for a pure extract correct? Thanks.

Correct, it wouldn't be an extract, but a ready to drink soda. Very often the only indicator of the flavor inside(besides the color of the contents) was printed on the cap.

Hey Carol,

Extract companies frequently developed the flavors. Yours is a soda bottle. Does it have markings or numbers on the base?

From.

 

[clloyd2004@yahoo.com]

yes, it has the number 2 on base.
