Melton?

Has anyone seen this bottle?

It's "Coke green" glass with "Melton" on two sides.

My son and I found it on a recent creek walk in eastern Virginia.

Thanks!

Looks late 1920s. MELTON might be the soda brand name.

I also found this 1910 American Bottlers annual magazine? I found it very interesting. It has a Hutch plant for sale and a bunch of articles and advertisements. I thought you and your son might find this interesting and informative. Plenty of pictures too.
