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.
