Looking for information regarding Flaherty's Beverages in Long Island City, NY

[levinll]

I picked up this crate over the weekend, but to date, have been unable to find any history on this company.

I was hoping someone on this forum might have come across a bottle from said company and knows a little bit about it.

Does it say Flaherty's? It’s hard to read. Going by the address, this was owned by my grandmother’s brothers, Joe & Jack Flaherty. I remember walking to the bottling plant as a young boy in the early 1960’s when I would get to go into the city and stay at my grandmother’s apartment. From what I was told, they were a small soda bottling company that sold to local bars in Queens and Brooklyn.
It had to close by the late 1960’s just like the local breweries when the Big Boys started to monopolize the beer and soda industry.
I have never found a bottle from them. Been looking online and local flea markets with negative result.
If you still own it and are interested in selling it, please contact me at
