Harmony Springs Bottle Appraisal

Vintage Harmony Springs One Quart Glass Soda Bottle

This is a vintage one-quart clear glass soda bottle from Harmony Springs Beverages. The bottle features an Applied Color Label (ACL) in red and white. The shoulder of the bottle displays the 'Harmony Springs' script above the text 'ONE QUART' in a banner. Above the label, there is a small white print indicating a 'DEPOSIT 25c'. The main body label shows the name 'HARMONY SPRINGS' in bold, red, sans-serif lettering over a stylized red diagonal banner, with the word 'Beverages' in script below. Physically, the bottle has a slim neck tapering into a rounded body, typical of mid-20th-century soda packaging. It appears to be made of heavy-duty machine-made glass. Regarding condition, the bottle is heavily soiled with surface dust, grime, and internal residue, suggesting long-term storage in an attic or basement. The ACL shows significant wear, with some fading and loss of pigment, particularly on the white portions. There is visible 'case wear' or light scratching on the glass surface from repeated use in a bottling circuit. While no major chips or structural cracks are immediately visible, the patina is consistent with an authentic vintage find from approximately the mid-1950s to 1960s. The craftsmanship is utilitarian but durable, designed for multiple refill cycles.
