My first Crush...

[Stoney]

I got it today at a junk store for $2.00.. It was a really fond memory... I loved the stuff in the 50s... Can anyone tell me if it is a real "Crush" and what year it might be???

Bubbas Dad! Talk to me...

hey stoney yep its real!! thats the owens illinois mark on the base 1930-1957 what puzzles me is theres no label can you see where its worn off?? or was it a paper label? nice find mike

stoney, looks like a crush to me. i'm no expert but my guess would be 1946. as far as the lable goes, to my knowledge orange crush didn't make a paper lable in that style. i would quess that the lable was in bad shape and got removed during cleaning some how. heres a site with some very info on crush

It was made in 1936. The date code says!!

I'm happy to have it, but dissapointed that the printing is gone... I may have drank OC from this bottle in the 40s... Kool!!!

Orange crush was my favorite drink from the mid 40s tothe mid 50s... We lived in the back of our restaruant during those years and I got one every day...

The search begins... Thanks guys...

the 6 could be 1936, 1946 or 1956. in the 50's crush started changing to the mae west style of bottle. that leaves a higher likelyhood of 36 or 46. judging by the bottle i still would quess 1946.
