Lots of variations

 

[Dylan]

It says "big chief" and "coca cola bottling company full half pint" And on the bottom It says "trace benzoate soda fruit acid art color and flavor" and it have some symbols along the bottom of the glass rim on the very bottom it says "san bernidino Cal"

Living in California, I'll guess it reads San Bernardino.

Yes mackaydon, that is me trying to type on my android and peaches it appears to be the second bottle from the left on the top row if that helps to date or otherwise identify it.

Welcome to the forum.

"Big Chief" deco style soda bottles from the 1920s and 1930s are common and can be found almost everywhere here in the West. I'm not sure if you already own it or if you are looking for information before you do, but I would not pay more than $10.00 for one of that particular variety unless it was rare and from an extremely small town. Most of the Big Chiefs were distributed by Coca Cola franchise bottlers and contained fruit flavors like strawberry ~ lemon ~ grape ~ etc. They are totally cool bottles, but not hard to find by any means. Check ebay periodically and you will see what I mean.

Here are some of the (acl) Big Chiefs I have

Thanks for all the info. I am definitely keeping this bottle and displaying it on my collectible shelf!
