Joy bottle

[texasdigger]

I just got one of these too. It was dug in San Antonio. I cant find a thing about it. Hughes made vinegar, but nothing about a soda shape. I think they may be fairly rare. To not find single one on the net aside from your is odd. Anyone from KY. run across this bottle?

this is an old thread , has any one have new info on the bottle?

The one I have is very similar to the one pictured above albeit it is light green glass. All the embossments are the same. I think it was found in Sabine County , TX. Don't know whether is soda bottle or vinegar/condiment bottle. <Edit: Malformed image. Please see FAQ>

It's definitely not vinegar if they're telling you to drink it. Might have been some sort of grape juice drink that wasn't technically soda to avoid a tax on soda, since "No tax on it" implies that other drinks had tax on them.
