Hey all,
Man, finally! I'm so happy to get this bottle. I've been working on a deal to get this great early example for about two months now and it was really worth the wait. Tod calls this bottle one of the iconic southern sodas, and I would definitely have to agree. It's been on my want list for quite some time and I never knew if i'd ever have a shot at one and feel very fortunate to have it in my collection. The gentleman I got it from was not a bottle collector and works for a contractor in Norfolk. He said he's had it for about 20 years, and got it back on one of the construction sites back in the 90's. No damage at all. It could use a light spin but i'm not sure if i'm going to even mess with it. There are only a handful of sodas with the early long neck flat tapered torpedo style tops on a soda form. The Talbot St. W.H. Buck, the A.C. Evans from NC, and the Cook & Peel from Alexandria, Va to name a few. It's been a great year so far. I hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for looking! [
