Some new 'art deco' style soda bottles

[SODAPOPBOB]

Just for the record ...

The terms "Art Deco / Deco" were first used in the 1960s and not in the 1920s or 1930s. Prior to the 1920s and 30s the rightful term was "Moderne"

Because slang terms have a way of creeping into things, somewhere along the line someone started calling 1920s through the 1940s geometric/motif style of soda bottles as "Deco" soda bottles when they rightfully should have been called "Moderne / Modern" soda bottles.

Thanx sodapopbob for that "postive" info about the term "art Deco". I am sorry it offended some people. I do agree with some other members on how this forum should "work." Fun, enjoyable, informative and helpful. I am still a newbie and love all the good help I can get. I just collect what I like. (mostly pepsi's & mnt dew's)Let's enjoy bottles.
I will post a new one I just got over the weekend on the new to collection section. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Wanting to stay positive but being a art major and art deco as my favorite era.. it was called art deco in the 20s which followed another one of my favorite styles, art nouveau.... But not saying some of the bottles shown aren't in art deco style... the first of the 3 (left bottle shows deco type patterns)
bottle can indeed be deco style, but maybe not from the deco era (age).... Nehi again has some deco form. Then came your more streamlined and modern era.... then the 60s when everything went anyway....

Found this on Wikipedia... "The first use of the term Art Deco has been attributed to architect Le Corbusier, who penned a series of articles in his journal L'Esprit nouveau under the headline 1925 Expo: Arts Déco. He was referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts).[3]

The term was used more generally in 1966 when a French exhibition celebrating the 1925 event was held under the title Les Années 25: Art Déco/Bauhaus/Stijl/Esprit Nouveau.[4]"

I think we are on the same page here, the only difference being that I am talking about common usage of the terms Art Deco and Deco and not a first use/brief mention of it in a random publication. The terms really caught on in the mid to late 1960s and has been in common usage ever since. But even more significant than that, I'm saying bottle collectors in the 1950s and early 1960s did not refer to 1920s-30s soda bottles as Deco bottles. They referred to them as ...

Ha... Wonder if Hilary, in the 1960s, read Le Corbusier's “random publications†from the 1920s.[]

The question I'm raising is ...

What were 1920s thru 1940s soda bottles called by 1950s bottle collectors?

Reworded / More Specific ...

What were 1920s thru 1940s ( geometrically / stylishly embossed) soda bottles called by 1950s and early 1960s bottle collectors?
