Some new 'art deco' style soda bottles

[fishnuts]

I'm with Pat.
Fancy embossed for sure.
Art deco styled, umm, okay if you like. Art deco influenced, sure. Faygo has a waist, Nehi has a date? Neither proof of art deco-ness. Eye of the beholder, thing...but with practice and experience one can understand it all.

That said, I don't believe that any bottles, like the ones pictured, from the 50's and 60's are, or deserve to be called art deco. It's a matter of timing. They are just not...imho.

My opinion counts here, I believe, as I display as many fancy decorated non-acl, non-slug plated, embossed bottles in many different glass colors as that book does. Not the same ones, mind you

Some fancy embossed bottles off the shelf:
Part One
Quinabeer...from Cuba
Grover's Mellow Mist Beverages
Sun Punch
Johnson's Beverages

One of these is as 'late' as 1947.

Some fancy embossed from the shelf:
Two
Papy's
Pam Pa
Wescola
Uncle Jo...no city but weird yellow amber colored

Enjoy 'em and call them anything you like.


I got 'em and you don't! Neener! Neener! ...S. Cooper

I blame Bob.

ORIGINAL:

For some reason...............I can't figure out why, decorated/deco bottles have now morphed into 'art deco' bottles.

sw arkansas,
...So am I, bro, so am I.
When you say you possibly need NuGrape Eudora, do you mean that it's possible you need it, or that it's possible that there is one? I think I know...even though NuGrape Eudora was NOT on my Wanted List, it is now...so I guess it's possible that I need one too.

I have none of the three cities inquired. I'll pick two of each up when i discover them.
