Hello VintageTaker54
Can you tell me anything about this little Tiny bottle? Do you know if it has any value.
I have one just like it and have not been able to find any info anywhere on it.
I am still looking and if I find anything, I will let you know. Please do the same for me.
I live just outside Richmond Va. and I have seen quite a few of these. I have maybe 6 or more of them. They sell for around $5-$10 around here depending on condition. I will check with some bottle club members to find out more on the history if you like.
I visited grandma in Quinton VA every summer, and was thrilled to walk to the store down the road and get my TINY Grape Soda, out of the ice filled cooler. It was so delish, and I only had it there. I grew up in NYC. I NEVER realized it was a Richmond Winchester VA made soda! Gee, I wish I'd saved the bottles now. I am talking my visits were in 1950-1961.
I grew up in the Richmond area and Tiny was our favorite bottled drink when we were little (I'm now 72.) Besides being a grape soda, which I loved, the bottle it came in was small and perfect for little hands. Other bottles were too big for us to drink out of without a straw. Also, there wasn't so much liquid in it to have the treat ruin your appetite for the next meal, definitely a plus with my mother. It was sold out of the old ice and water tub coolers in small groceries and gas stations. If I found even an empty bottle today, I'd be smiling for a week. I am amazed there is no information on Tiny Beverages online, but I guess Tiny slipped between the digital cracks. I vaguely remember that it was sometimes sold in little cartons sized down for the size of the bottles, just a Coke and Pepsi were sold in cartons.
