Antique Wm. Umbach Carlstadt NJ Crown Top Quart Soda Bottle ANCHOR Pictorial

Description: Up for sale is a greenish aqua ABM soda/beer water bottle from Carlstadt, NJ, around 1920. It's a big "quart" size, cylindrical and tall, it's embossed on the front in a full body "private" mold "WM. UMBACH / *anchor pictorial* / CARLSTADT, N.J." and at the rear shoulder with the Anchor trade mark pictorial again, and at the heel "CONTENTS 24 FL. OZ." plus some mold numbers. It's got an attractive fluted neck at the upper portion above the shoulder, and a crown top lip. It has also got a paper label on the neck at the rear reading "UMBACH'S RASPBERRY SODA / SERVE COLD / CERTIFIED COLOR ADDED" with detailed anchor pictorial, and scrolling borders and decoration. The bottle is 11 1/8" tall and about 3 1/4" in diameter at the base. It's about as good as it gets, with the glass in nearly perfect condition besides some light case wear/a couple small rough spots to the embossing, mainly at the "U" in Umbach and at the rear heel. There's some dried up sugary contents in the bottom, would clean up easy. And the label is WAY better than average, with good color remaining on the red and blue ink plus the anchor pictorial. There is some age related discoloration to the label and areas of cracking, but no losses. Tough to find one labeled in the first place - satisfaction guaranteed, if you're not in love after handling it in person I'm happy to accept returns.
