NEHI BOTTLING COMPANY - Big, Heavy and Blue - Albuquerque, NM

[skampler]

What do you guys make of this bottle? It says "Nehi Bottling Company Albuquerque New Mexico Phone 2430". On the bottom it says "Made in Czechoslovakia". It stands at about 11 1/4" inches high, and it is very thick and heavy. It is also a beautiful blue color.

Looks like a seltzer bottle to me (without the top of course)...

Hi Skampler,

Looks to me like you have a 1930s seltzer bottle.
I have a local one very similar to yours, mine dates from between 1930-1936

I like the color as well as the shape of the bottle . Nice find for a Nehi product , and will display nicely too , all I have ever came up with pertaining to Nehi in my area are the acl and embossed pop bottles . I believe it is a seltzer bottle as well .

I learn more everyday, thanks guys. I started looking up seltzer bottles and found a lot of very similar bottles. I like the color and shape of the bottle too, and the weight and size gives it some character
