Don't know anything about your particular town; however, Eye-se was the early flavor line bottle for Nu-Grape and would be replaced by Nu-Icy, which became more popular. The one pictured is a 6oz Bristol, Va Eye-Se.

And a taller green version from Knoxville, Tenn.

I only had time for a quick note the first time. My mother-in-law gave me the bottle a few years ago when she cleaned out a travel trailer. I've been trying to find out something on it since. I called Kosciusko's Chamber of Commerce and they knew nothing about it. They gave me the name of an elderly gentleman that was considered their resident historian. I talked to him and he said they had a bottling company there years ago,but it hadn't heard of this.I'm going to try and send some pictures with this, may take too long, only have dial up where I live. One picture has the Eye-See and two other bottles. I included them to see if you know what they might be. I'm not a collector,just like old things. The middle bottle is eight sided and has MOROLINE on four of the sides. I hope you get the pics and can help. I thank you for your answer. I think I misspelled Kosciusko in original message.

I think I got the picture this time. I said I'm not really a collector and I'm worse at computers.

I did a quick Google books search and found that a Nugrape Bottling Works of Kosciusko Miss. was involved in a lawsuit with Hattiesburg Chero Cola Bottling Co. in 1928. So it makes perfect sense that your local Nu-Grape Bottler was producing the brand. I suggest that you go to your local library and see if they have the local newspaper on microfilm from the late 1920's, and or the local City directories from the same area.
