I've been collecting embossed deco sodas since last September.
One of dozens of fascinating aspects of this part of the hobby is their commonality. I've written posts before about acls where I've found same labels by different bottlers. I call them 'twins'. I've found same brand names with different labels and different bottlers. I call them 'cousins'.
With embossed...well, anyway here is something I found.
The brand Quality, I think we know is associated with Coca Cola. But is it always?
Here are the seven different Quality embossed bottle designs I have in my display. I am sure there are more. Would everyone please...provide photo and information on any that you might have? Let's see how many we can all find!

Additionally, if you have one of these seven designs...but from another bottler, or location, or size...please note the differences in this thread? Let the fun begin.

Left to right: All are Quality...

1. Eagle Bottling Co. Kansas City, MO 7oz 1953
2. Star Bottling Works Protland, ME 7oz -
3. Crown Bottling Works Nevada, MO 8oz -

If you have these bottle designs on any other Quality branded bottle, be sure to indicate yours is bottle # 1,2,3. Thanks

The next three: again all Quality.

4. Coca Cola Bottling Co Asheville, NC 6oz 1944 LGW
5. Quality Beverage Co. Schenectady, NY 7oz -
6. Coca Cola Bottling Co Toledo, OH 6oz

Again, if you have any of these three from differing locations, please let me know in this thread and remember to say that you are referencing bottle design # 4,5,6.
Don't forget to photo and remark about Quality bottles not listed!

The bottle in the middle, in the second pic is the same exact design as the Redding's Beverages from Amsterdam, N.Y. Its identical except the name on the bottle. There's at least one more soda with the same exact design as well. Swiz

Bottle design number 5

Yes, I think all three in the first photo are very common designs....
And the center in the second array is like Yakys, Superior and at least two others I have.
And the last pair...I have an Owens that is the same design and probably dozens more abound.
Thanks for your input but I'll have to put that massive identification project on the back burner...


BUT What I'm looking for here is Quality brands. Quality Beverages, Quality Soda, Quality Bottling, etc.
Not qualilty used in a slogan like, "...a quality beverage." Just when the name of the beverage is Quality.

Love it if you can help!

I have pictures (I don't own them) of two "Quality" decos not shown yet. This first one is similar to the dark green one you posted, but is slightly different.
