The 1920's green bottle and label design.

The Was-Cott Corporation went out of business around 1930 and was purchased by one of its former directors who kept the brand but redesigned the bottle introducing their first and only acl design.

Just up the road from Tazewell we have the Pocahontas Bottling Works of Pocahontas Virginia owned by Nick Crist whom this early 30's private brand was named for. Nick's Pale Dry Ginger Ale. Would love to find the paper label for this one.

By 1935 he had renamed his private label Ginger Ale to Pocahontas Club and kicked off the Pocahontas Flavor line which would last into the early 1980's. Another one I would love to have the label for.

Speaking of labeled bottles I would love to find is the Wyrick Spring Ginger Ale brand. All I have is advertising for it, but I did own one of the 12oz Wyrick Springs bottles that it was most likely bottled in once. Traded it though.

Now we come to another local ginger ale brand from Marion, VA Blueridge Ginger Ale. Madman posted the 1950's 7oz earlier, but I figured I would post more from the brand. First up is a depression glass advertising tumbler for the brand.

A 1942 paper label.

And its 1959 cousin which held the brand when they created the Blue Ridge flavor line.

While I'm not sure if this was a Ginger Ale or just a ginger soda, but here is Gin-Gera from around 1914. The brand was based in Norfolk VA.
