Antique 3 Centa Soda Bottles Lot of 7 – Aqua Embossed Advertising Bottles, LGW Laurens Glass Works, Early Soft Drink Bottles

Item highlights

  • Materials: Glass
  • Vintage: From the 1930s

Seller's description

Scarce matched collection of seven antique “The Original 3 Centa Drink” embossed soda bottles in striking aqua-green glass. This is an unusually strong surviving group of early embossed soft drink bottles, and finding seven matching examples together is far more difficult than finding a single bottle.

Each bottle features the distinctive raised circular “The Original 3 Centa Drink” advertising design. Several are marked LGW, associated with Laurens Glass Works, and the group includes bottles with Patent No. 52423 embossed on the lower heel. The repeating form, aqua-green glass, and bold raised advertising make this an especially attractive collector and display lot.

These bottles appear to come from a relatively limited production period, and surviving examples are not commonly encountered in quantity. The opportunity to acquire seven matching examples together is a major part of the appeal. This is not simply a group of ordinary period soda bottles—it is a cohesive matched collection with strong early soft drink advertising character.

Condition is notably strong. All seven bottles are free of chips and cracks. Several examples are exceptionally clean and can reasonably be described as mint to near-mint, while the others show only expected age-related evidence of use such as light case wear, faint haze, minor surface marks, residue, or small manufacturing irregularities typical of antique utilitarian glass.

Please review all 20 photographs closely. The photographs are an important part of the description and show the actual seven bottles included in this lot, including individual embossing, heel marks, base details, glass color, finish, and condition.

Included:
7 antique “The Original 3 Centa Drink” embossed soda bottles

Color:
Aqua-green / blue-green glass

Embossing and marks noted:
“The Original 3 Centa Drink”
LGW on several examples
Patent No. 52423 on the lower heel

Condition:
No chips
No cracks
No major damage noted
Several bottles in mint to near-mint condition
Remaining bottles show only light expected antique wear

These bottles display extremely well as a group. Their green-aqua glass catches light beautifully, and the raised advertising creates excellent visual depth. They are well suited for an antique bottle cabinet, soda bottle collection, early advertising collection, country store display, general store or mercantile display, vintage bar, restaurant decor, farmhouse shelf, or Southern antiques collection.

This is a scarce collector/display lot of seven, sold together as found.
