Any info on this bottle?
Does the bottle say faygo on it ? Bottles in the 20s sometimes have the date not on the bottom but on the very edge just before you get to the bottom.
i tried to call a number that was listed in your name that i found online,but not sure if it was you. i saw that you had a display at the canton library, but didnt get to see it soon enough. faygo conyacted me and wanted to buy it for $15, but not even sure what it was worth, i declined their offer. anyways to answer your question, the bottle does say "faygo" and under that it says "beverages". as for the number close to the bottom, i can see, which i didnt notice before, looks like 3 numbers, but the third number is chipped out, but i can see 89. there is a single, upper case "F" on the bottom. ps the number 89 something is right under the word "registered" Whadda ya think??
I have a 7 oz that is painted with the shield logo and that logo came out no earlier than the 40's, I suspect it is early 60's. So it's interesting that they said they only produced 7 oz in the 20's. I've seen bottles like this from Faygo produced in the teens.
