Old orange crush and nehi

[mrosman]

Hi ineedhelp... I can only comment on the Orange Crush bottle..... firstly, the glass is all stippled. There really was not a pattern in the early, clear, 'krinkly' bottles as to which has stippled glass, and which were stippled in the body but the neck was clear. Now I have been thrown off.... by the 'small' print in the Orange Crush - except the O and the C. In addition, the lack of the content "6 FL. OZS." puts your bottle in a 'unique' category. I include some pictures from my book but your bottle is not described.... perhaps next edition. Along with the unique variations - a little bit from two bottles in this era (1920-1924), and the stippled glass, I believe you have a unique, uncommon to rare bottle there.... certainly $50++ in my opinion. I will research this a bit further and get back.

It says Pat D July 20, 1920 orange crush bottle the back says the same thing with a logo and in the bottom says something like L0W

Thanks for the clearer pictures of both sides.... now it becomes easier. Your bottle is what we refer to as a Mr.Crushy, Left (p.49-50) in my book. There are drips coming from the squeezed orange, there is no number underneath the 6oz., and the bottle is entirely stippled. The opposite side is the standard PAT'D, July 20 etc. This bottle is uncommon, approaching rare, and should be priced accordingly. Hope that helps a bit more....
