Article #86: Vintage 1920's Green Glass Nu Grape Soda Bottle

 

Here is our 74th article where we are looking at this vintage 1920's Nu Grape soda bottle which is a green glass bottle. NuGrape was created in 1906 and was first bottled in 1921. The National NuGrape Company was founded in April 1933 in Atlanta, GA. Something interesting to note about Nu Grape is that around 1923, a man by the name of Gary Armour had an idea to make a soda bottle shaped car. It was a Chevy chassis in a bottle shape. It was designed by the Mercury Body Corporation for Nu Grape. The front and back of the bottle look the same where you have the Nu Grape writing with a star behind it. Bottles that are green glass are hard to come by. The front and back look the same.
