Waisted days, waisted nights

[fishnuts]

I didn't waist any time getting another array.
This one consists of the following:

Honeymoon from Ironton, MO
Drink Dixie from Jacksonville, FL
Duke's from Fallsburg, NY
Elbes from Wausau. WI
Besco has the bottler, I recall from VA ??? Awesome cut glass like detail in boxes, cross's and vertical elements
Giant Beverages from Richmond, VA

Enjoy!

The pair of Uncle Jo.
The only thing on the base of both is the usual six-point star.

Here's a shot of the Orange Quench bottle.
Since I currently have a pair ,you can see both sides at the same time.
Orange on one side and Quench on the other.

Owens's Sount, Ontario.

No arguement from me on this being THE coolest looking deco design soda, although there might be a dozen, or more, tied for second!

madman...I have no information about the gray glass color. In fact, I didn't know or understand that it was gray until I opened the parcel. There was no indicator in the photo(s) from the seller, as I recall.

This question brings up an interesting sidebar topic...that of glass color.
On my outdoor display there is a medium-to-light gray background and against it there are many bottles that show up with interesting tints. Sometimes these are only noticeable on the shelf when you see several crystal clear bottles then from among them a bottle obviously not colored the same. The variances are very noticable once the sun passes to the West side of the shed(bottles face east) and all the light is indirect. (At this time of day, the clear bottles take on an appearance of a mirror surface, or a bottle filled with mercury...and they shine shine shine reflective and silvery.) Usually they are in tones of clear thru several different tints of grays. There are a couple that have faint lemon yellow cast. And pinkish. Also at this time of day one can detect several various shades of aqua-to-light green that are usually not otherwise noticeable. Strange...but, true. Residue inside the bottles is not the causative agent here, which was my first knee-jerk theory...bottles are clean.
When held up to blue sky background they all appear clear, but back against the gray background the colors pop out in myriad subtle differences. We know Coke hobbleskirts are available in color...why not others?
I've only been collecting decos since last September, so I do not know if these color anomalies are constant by brand or that there may be variants within brands.

A darker greyish tone flint glass is natural to these 3-C Nectars, there are very few that don't have it. I'm guessing that the powers that be wanted them a bit darker in order to stand out in a crowd of clear decos.

Thanks for the additional photos, Grant,

I'd have to agree. Very cool...

Ah, so you got that Standard Bottling Co. from RI. I wanted it but not the other art-deco sodas. It comes in clear too.

Very nice grant. I love those green glass bottles. I also have a "Kidds", really neat bottle.
