Pepsi-cola / deco / basket-weave / soda bottle design pattern

P.S.

The particular issue I'm looking for is ...

Volume 26, 1950

I'm not sure exactly which issue it would be, but as near as I can determine, Volume 26 should indicate the 26th 'week' of the year. The magazine was published about once a week, so it should be one of these two issues ...

Note: Both of these issues are on eBay but they ain't cheap. But even if I did find a cheap one, I really need to know the exact issue first! I'm just guessing about the 26th Volume being the 26th week. ???

June 24, 1950



or ...

July 1, 1950

I see the 'wave' similarities.

Hey, Bass

The dog ate my homework - but if I recollect correctly, what jumped out at me was the wave aspect of the glowing lights. And even though you said 'bottle" I'm still not 100% certain if your question actually pertained to the bottle itself or the ACL label on the "bottle"

Is it a James Gordon Carr design? ( I haven't gone back to try and find it)

Speaking of the ACL label ...

If you remove the wording (which I don't consider part of the 'design') it would look something like this ...

Regarding the so called 'Paisley' shapes and James Gordon Carr's possible infatuation with wings ...

Did ya know ...

That James Gordon Carr also designed "Dinoland" at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair?

And this in 1943 ...

(But I couldn't find where one had ever been built)

As far as the cooler the gull-wing refers to the lids when they are lifted up... looks like wings from the side.
Just a nickname given to this cooler... I had this model...looked more like a washing machine... not my
favorite but the price was right...

As it stands now, I'm putting all of my eggs in this basket ...

I thought this 1950 issue of the New Yorker magazine that's on eBay might be the Volume 26 I'm looking for, so I contacted the seller to inquire about it. He sent me a reply saying he didn't actually have the magazine, blah, blah, blah, but that's okay because I just discovered the entire year of 1950 magazines are considered Volume 26. So now I'm trying to determine which # of Volumes 26 the article might be in. The site where I found the article was no help because all it shows is the year and volume but not the issue #

If/when I do find the right magazine, it could very well be the earliest reference that uses ...
