squirt bottles

[squirtbob]

These are my four oldest squirt bottles, 2 each from 1940 and 1941. Two are OI Duraglas and two are from Glenshaw Glass. Squirt made it first appearance in 1938. I wondered if anyone had bottles from the 1938 and/or1939?

And the back side of those bottles.

ALWAYS LIKED DRINKING SQUIRT AS A KID, IVE GOT A KNOXVILLE TN BOTTLE ITS GLENSHAW AND HAS AN S ON THE LIP

According to the chart supplied by sodapopbob your bottle would be dated 1947. We used to stock up on it on our way to vacation so it's related to very good memories. It's still my favorite soft drink.

Here are two bottles from 1944 and 1947. Both are OI products. Notice that they are the same as yours. Subtle changes are apparent on the front and back that distinguish these from the ones I posted earlier from 1940 and 1941. Apparently squirt doesn't have a big following on this website ...there is lots of very interesting and helpful information ...but I thought we might see some pictures of the squirt bottles produced in 1938 & 1939. Anyone?

Nice Squirts. One of my favorite sodas when I was a kid. Brings back memories of stopping at the bait store to get snacks and bait for fishing on the weekends with bro/father/myself.
Is there a reason why those Squirt bottles are so sought after? I see them on eBay quite often going for anywhere from 3$ to 15$. I find them everytime I go digging at the inlaws. Outside of a few, I just leave them there. The ones I find are from the Squirt Bottling Co. in Hancock, Mi. Here's a pic of the back of one. Hopefully the pic isn't too small.

Your bottle is also from the mid 40's. Perhaps if you listed the info on the bottom we could date it. We used to pick up Squirt on the way to vacation in N. Minnesota each summer, starting in 1953. One year, early 70's I believe, I returned home and drove through Iron Mtn. I really enjoyed the trip through the Upper Penisula. Please dig one up for me in the 30's, I'd be glad to buy one from you. I have purchased a few on Ebay and the price you quote is right on.

Do you have a picture from a book or elsewhere showing what a 1938 Squirt bottle looks like? If so, I'd love to see it. Squirt is still one of my favorites and I drink it quite often. I especially like Squirt floats with orange sherbert ... umm, umm, good!

SPB.

Just had one for supper, but I've never mixed it with orange sherbert. I'll have to try that. Actually, ...you are the expert ... I was hoping that you would have the picture. There must be some squirt collectors on this site.
