I bought this local bottle at the Brick show today. It's a slug plated crown top soda from Clifton, but it's much newer than I thought when I bought it. I assumed, because it was a slug plate and had the "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD" embossing, that it was from the 20's or before. I was wrong. As it turns out, this bottle is from 1947! I know this because it was made by the Glenshaw glass company, and because the lip is embossed with an "S", I can use their date codes to figure out the date.
Above slug plate: "REGISTERED". In slug plate: "SILVER SPRINGS/ BOTTLING WORKS/ CLIFTON, N.J.". Below slug plate "CONTENTS/ 7 FLUID OUNCES"
Coincidentally, the base says "1947" as well!
