​

IT SAYS CHAR ON ONE SIDE AND MAR ON THE OTHER​

IT SAYS MIN CONTENTS 10 FL OZS AROUND THE BASE​

​

IS IT A CHAR MAR BOTTLE OR A MAR CHAR BOTTLE?

​

It is most likely Char mar. There is a bar here in MN by that name....and there is a pop bottle from Jacksonville FL ca 1939 ACL referenced on the net.

your little circle thing is an O-I logo. i have a bottle made by them, it's like a 7 up green certo bottle. I dont know how long O-I operated but they still make glass today. I think they started around 1920-1930.

The 48 is the date of your bottle, 1948. The O-I mark was first used in 1929, when Illinois Glass Co. merged with Owens Glass Bottle Co. and formed Owens-Illinois. The mark was used at least into the 1950-s or 60s. They are still around, but I do not think they still use the old O-I mark on anything today. Neat bottle, I like embossed sodas. ~Jim

Hey Julie, Char-mar is a common name used for everything from community and multiple bussiness names to clothing but I pieced together a little info.It looks like Char-Mar was a brand of soda from Ohio or Illinos but was bottles in many states. There was even a Char-Mar bottling works in Jacksonville that used Char-Mar as their main brand. It ws supposed to rival Coke and Pepsi for a chunk of the market and it was bottled from the late 1930s into the 50s. Thats all I could find.

Thanks Warren

for responding to my email.

So do you think it would be a fair to say in my ebay listing that it is a rare bottle? I don't want to mislead anyone, but since there is not much info about it, may there isn't many of these bottles? What do you think? Do you think it's even worth listing? I was thinking of starting it off at maybe 5 bucks. By the way Warren, do you have someone named Julie on your mind? That's the second time you called me Julie--lol. But that's okay...
as long as you keep answering my questions

I can be anybody you want me to be!
