Sweet Sixteen Beverage Co. was located at 1820 Marconi Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. A Paul Nota registered the name in 1941. I am not sure if this company has any relation to the Sweet Sixteen soda out of Detroit, Michigan, possibly a franchise?
Featured on the two bottles are the different hairstyles of 16 year old girls from the early 1940's.
These bottles are both 16 oz. (naturally) and are dated 1941 & 1946.
Cool! I have one from Detroit.
Just curious. Does the bottle have the same graphics as these?
No I don't think mine has the pics of female faces. It is currently packed away in crate as I am refinishing my basement. Although some do that are from Detroit.
Good to know, Thanks
My grandfather and his brother-in-law were partners in Detroit. The business name was "Carbonated Beverages, Inc," they bottled Sweet Sixteen, Americola and perhaps another label. The young lady on the bottle was Uncle Bernie's daughter, Barbara.
I don't think there was a connection with the St. Louis firm.
Good to know.
Thanks for the comment!
