Stone Fizz

[morbious_fod]

I'm doing some research on a brand called Stone Fizz for a possible future article, and I'm needing to verify it I have the right patent for the "frozen bottle" as mine only says Patent applied for on the bottom. I'm hoping someone owns one that might have the patent number or patent date on the bottom instead. I know that there is a 10oz Stoneware bottle out there as well, which might be how they sold syrup as the ounces are on the bottles I've seen, but the one I'm looking for is an aqua color glass 6oz bottle.

I'm also having a heck of a time finding city directories for Chattanooga online, which is the town the brand was based in.

I was introduced to this brand via a paper label when I first started collecting, and have always been curious about this soda with such a strange name. Google has yielded a few nibbles, but no real facts, I still have no clue as to what flavor it was aside from it being a green colored liquid according to a tin sign photo I found.

Would love a better photo of this sign, and one of those fountain glasses.

I have the trademark info, but no names of who was involved in the company.

A photo of the stoneware bottle from another thread from 2006 where the poster never actually got an answer to what he had.

The time frame for the company is from 1919, which it appears is their incorporation year, till between 1925 and 1930. They were incorporated in Deleware rather than Tennessee, but their home was in Chattanooga.

Below is the style of bottle I'm needing the patent info on.

Duh. I was wondering what flavor it was and that information was on the label. "A Wonderful Combination of Lime, Ginger, Lemon & other flavors added color" what a strange combo of flavors. Explains why it's green on the sign. I wonder what the "other flavors" were.

I Found this bottle today says "Stone Fizz Company of America" near the bottom. On the bottom it says Patented April 16 21 How old, what might have been in it and where was it made? This one was found in Chattanooga TN Ebay showed one with a crack for buy now at $7. What do you think it is worth. Thanks, Dale Powell

And this little tid-bit of information I thought was interesting ...

(I've heard of "evolution" bottles before, but this is taking the term to a new level) []
