    Here is another find from last weekend. I have been looking for another one of these for quite a while, and was surprised when I spotted it in a box under a table at the flea market.
    This is an interesting embossed soda bottle from here in San Antonio, a “Hippo Size Soda Water”.
    “The Big Bottle Drink”, “Bot. Ptd. Nov. 2, 1926”, “Property of Alamo Bottling Wks, San Antonio, Texas”
    As you can imagine, these are quite in demand around here for the local connection and the great embossed hippo on both sides.
    This example is in great condition, with only a minimal amount of case wear.
    Here is a little trade mark info:
    "On Saturday, January 07, 1928, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for HIPPO SIZE SODA WATER THE BIGGEST BOTTLE FOR 5C by . The USPTO has given the HIPPO SIZE SODA WATER THE BIGGEST BOTTLE FOR 5C trademark serial number of 71259788. The current federal status of this trademark filing is EXPIRED.

    enjoy

      Manikin,
      Thank you for the complement and the love. I will, there is a place I want to photograph, however, it is the wrong time of the year to explore old buildings, rattle snakes, scorpions(I have killed two in the house this week), black widows, red wasps(real nasty little guys), fire ants(again, quite nasty little critters), etc. But, fear not, I will sacrifice myself for my friends at CW!!!
      If I stop posting, you will know what happened!

      miKKoChristmas11,
      Thank you very much for the kind words. These are very sought after around here. Getting harder to find all the time, I am always on the lookout for them.

      I have one of these Hippo Soda Bottles, it has white lettering, 16 oz. BOT. PAT'D NOV 2, 1926. Also have lots of coke and other soda bottles. I really love bottles of any kind. Are these bottles worth anything?

      Not really $8.00-$20.00 on Ebay...
      Thank you very much Yuko & tom61375....
