Bottle Details

Design: The ribbed or "Krinkly" design was a signature of early Orange Crush bottles and served a practical purpose, as the original formula contained actual orange pulp, which the ribs helped to conceal by protecting the contents from light.

Age: This specific style of clear, ribbed bottle was used from around 1920 until approximately 1937, when the company switched to amber-colored bottles.

Location: The base or heel of these bottles often includes the name of the local bottling plant (e.g., Madison, WI, Pottsville, PA, or Fort Wayne, IN), as Orange Crush was distributed through various franchised bottlers at the time.
