Identical bottles, different companies.

[Nickevlau]

Same bottles, different companies and years. Someone was asking for these a while back. I can't find the thread, hopefully they will find this was it you swiz? Found these in a shop today. Left bottle Mayer & Son. Back - Glencoe, MN cap. 7 fld ozs. Right bottle Pilgrim Bottling co. Back - Minneapolis, MN

Figured I better throw in art deco words for searching

A lot of soda companies used this same design, with minor variations as you can see in your example of two of them.

I collect acls, but early deco bottles have always facinated me. Take for example one of your bottles shown below as compared to the one on the next page. Scroll back-and-forth and (except for the embossed brand letting on yours) see if you think these two bottles are the same or different? It took me several minutes to come up with the answer. I still wonder exactly what it would take to qualify a particular bottle to be granted a separate patent.

The same or different? []

 

[Nickevlau]

Bottles are a little different than the drawing. The point that made me think is that these were made by two different manufacturers, with the same design. I guess designs were not specific to a company or maybe the shifted around, or maybe the designs were bought with the company?
