More interesting information about the Alma Soda bottle
For awhile now I have been studying that bottle as well as a base embossed only PGW soda bottle. I actually have in my possession a Pacific Glass Works soda bottle that is identically embossed to the Pacific Glass Works embossing on the base of the Alma Soda bottle. I am certain that this PGW soda bottle mold was altered and became the MISENHEIMER & HALL / ALMA SODA bottle.

Interesting,can you post a photo ? We recently dug a privy stuffed with over 40 mid to late 1860s PGW (and possibly SFGW) sixths in a rainbow of colors including teal, black glass, yellows, greens, and puces. Included in the mix are three embossed with a large C on the base. Last year at Auburn I saw another example with the C, but have no idea who or what it may signify. Any ideas ??
ReplyDeleteI forgot an important part of the story; only one sixth was intact !!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any idea about the embossed letter 'C', but would certainly be interested in seeing any of these bottle shards if you kept them. I will probably have the PGW soda bottle at the show.
