Article #95: Vintage Embossed 1920's Royal Palm Soda Bottle

In this new article we are looking at this vintage embossed Royal Palm soda bottle from the 1920's. Royal Palm was distributed widely across Florida, the Carolina's, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and Georgia from the early 1900's to the 1980's. The brand started around 1912 at the Miami Coca Cola bottler per newspaper articles. There were a lot of Royal Palm happenings around that time including the Royal Palm hotel, and the popular Royal Palm soda fountain on Flagler Avenue. This bottle has a Applied Color Label (ACL) where you have a palm tree on each side of where it says Royal Palm. At the top of the bottle on the front it says Royal Palm and in the middle of that is a palm leaf. Royal Palm had flavors like Lemon Lime, Cream, Grape, Cherry, Orange, Root Beer and Strawberry to name a few. On the front of the bottle you have the Royal Palm writing at the top and the logo in the middle. 

                      On the back of the bottle you have the writing at the top, just like on the front.
