Hosmer Mountain Beverages Pale Dry Ginger Ale Glass Bottle

This is a 28 fl. oz. (1 pint 12 fl. oz. / 828 ml) emerald green glass soda bottle containing 'Pale Dry Ginger Ale' produced by Hosmer Mountain Beverages, a company based in Willimantic, Connecticut, established in 1910. The bottle features a tapered neck and cylindrical body with two distinct paper labels. The neck label is cream and green with a diagonal orientation, reading 'SPARKLING PALE DRY GINGER ALE' and includes the environmental slogan 'SAVE ENERGY AND RESOURCES'. The main body label is larger, featuring the Hosmer Mountain Beverages shield logo in gold, black, and green. Text on the main label indicates the product is 'Sparkling Extra Dry Natural Soda' made with micro-filtered naturally pure water. A silver-toned aluminum screw-top cap remains intact on the threaded finish. The condition of the item is notably distressed; the glass and labels are heavily coated in thick, brownish-gray surface dust and fuzz, suggesting long-term storage in a basement, attic, or garage. There is visible staining and minor peeling on the paper labels. The inclusion of a barcode and modern volume measurements suggests a manufacturing date likely between the late 1970s and 1990s. The bottle appears to be full of original liquid, though sedimentation may be present due to age.
