Fairmont Bottling Co.
1820 Cooper Street (1929-1938)
1820 Marconi Street (formerly Cooper St) (1940)
St. Louis, Missouri
I found a "Registration of Fictitious Name" document that listed a Vincenzo Triolo and a Sylvester Riggio as 1/2 owners of the Fairmont Bottling Co. in 1929. Even though I found an ad for the sale of the business in 1939, there was a business listing for the operation in 1940. The date on the registration of fictitious name document is not necessarily the onset of the company as I believe Fairmont was in business maybe as early as 1919.
Probably one of the most ornate bottles in my collection.
Pic #1 shows an 8 oz and a 24 oz bottle with a peacock on a small water fountain with another bird coming in for a landing. Has the same scene on front and back.
Pic # 2 & 3 shows the front and back of a 24 oz bottle with much less detail.
Pic #4 is a pic of a seltzer, not in my collection, which shows the scene in color.
Wow! lots of detailed embossing on those first two.
Sweeeet!!
Thanks to all for the Love taps and nice comments!
One of my favorite deco style bottles!
