Found this one this past week at an old homesite. I did a little research but found very little about these bottles. One website said that each town could have their own design of bottle. That means there are many different designs out there. This one looks to have a magnolia blossom on it. I thought it was a cool find. Any additional info is appreciated.

I'm not familar with that specific brand, but it is definitely a "fruit flavored" soda bottle made sometime in the late 1920s. Painted labels were introduced around 1932/33. Most Coca Cola bottlers were allowed to produce various styles of bottles, but "only" for fruit flavors like grape - strawberry - orange - lemon, etc. But these types of bottles "never" contained actual Coca Cola. Nice bottle nevertheless, and definitely a keeper. I might add there are literally "thousands" of variations on this type of bottle. I've never yet seen it listed anywhere exactly how many variations of soda bottles there are, including the (ACL) painted label ones. But one senior collector I know said the number is over ten thousand. Try collecting one of each. Can you imagine?
