P.S.

Notice that Morris Newman's 1926 bottle patent and the 1951 classified ad for Uncle Dan's Root Beer show the same address … ???

688 E. Columbia St.

1926

1951

Interesting, I don't know much about Uncle Dan's, except I got a bottle of it boxed up somewhere. I'm curious where E. Columbia st is, doesn't sound familiar. LEON.

OK, I know exactly where that is, Not far from where Vernors originally was. I don't drive around those side streets in downtown Detroit to much because to much traffic & to many one way streets always taking you the direction you don't want go. THANKS.

That is just some awesome research/history there. Talk about putting a lot of pieces together.

Finally, after nine months, I was able to find a whole example over 160 miles from Detroit. How this got there I have no idea, but I hadn't seen or dug another since my first post last year. Guessing this is somewhat scarce amongst Detroit art deco sodas as it took that long before finding another. I haven't even met anyone since last May who has one of these but who knows, they're probably out there.

I've dug a couple before & seen a few so they are out there. LEON.

I have one myself and they pop up on e bay at least once or twice a year. Most dedicated deco soda collectors probably have one.
