1924 Drink Try-Me Beverage Bottle From Richmond Virginia

This is a 1924 Drink Try-Me Beverage Bottle From Richmond Virginia Like Nehi with its similarly provocative name, Try-me was a phenomenon of early-to-mid 20th century soda pop culture and a lost chapter in Richmond's commerce history. A flavored beverage manufacturer, the company was active from around 1924 into the 1960's, primarily distributing throughout the southeast but also as far west as Oklahoma and as far north as New York State. Its headquarters were located in Birmingham, AL. Try-me's Richmond plant was initially on the north side of West Main Street and owned by local beverage bottler, Brown's Distributing - which later was acquired by Budweiser. In excellent condition with no cracks or chips. It does have some air bubbles throughout. Clear to green color with deep cut geometric lines with an almost hour glass shape. Bottle measures 11 1/4" inches tall by 3 1/4" in diameter. Great collectible.
