Cant find info Date Great soda

[SODABOB]

This DATE COLA bottle might not be related, but thought I would post it anyway as a possible clue. It has some catchy phrasing that's similar, but other than that, who knows. The trees are probably Date Palms, which might explain the brand name. I couldn't find anything related to Date Cola Incorporated. At first, I could only find two examples, and was surprised to find one currently on eBay. Check it out ...

This particular bottle was described as being dated 1947 - But that is unconfirmed - No photo of the base

That carton and design is definately early 60s all day long.
[/QUOTE] I agree with Grasshopper, it is the early 1960 time with Jaqueline Kennedy in the White House. Note the cut of the hem and sleeve, and especially the "Jackie Look" hairstyle. She domineered all styling of the time, with bright pastel colors adopted by the car companies, to simple clean cut cost effective living style. It is the pinnacle of the World War 2 generation. A time of hard won optimism. --Mike Elling, Sharon, Tennessee

Might these be salesman samples for the bottler?

This Heart Club bottle is (sort of) similar - but who knows?

They could very well be salesman samples - but I'm leaning more towards a TEST MARKET brand. If so, that might explain the lack of a bottler and/or location - sort of a blind taste test - ???

BLIND DATE?

• L G………………..Liberty Glass Company, Sapulpa, Oklahoma (1918-c.1995), mark used c.1955- c.1995. Dash removed. (NOTE: There is a considerable overlap of the time periods during which these three mark variations were used (L.G. / L-G / L G) so careful scrutiny for an accompanying date code is advised. This information on approximate dates of use courtesy of author/researcher Bill Lockhart.) The Liberty Glass Company factory became part of the Ball-Foster Container Corporation in about 1995, Saint-Gobain Containers in 2000, now (after c. 2014) operating as part of the Ardagh Group. Also, check the L.G.CO. mark page for info on other factories that used a somewhat similar mark.
