Eagle Bottling Co


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Eagle Bottling Co, 1541 5th Street NW (1921-1939)

Notes:

There was an Eagle Bottling Co in Rhode Island that produced blob tops, but I haven't found any evidence that it's connected to this one.


Bottles:

eagle_1 (enlarge) This is a 9.2" clear decco crown top bottle with raised arches, marked:
front: (picture of eagle) / BIG EAGLE / REGISTERED
back: CONTENTS 10 FL. OZS.
bottom: EAGLE BOTTLING CO / WASH. / D.C.
eagle_2 (enlarge) On the left is an 8.3" clear machine-made crown top bottle embossed:
front: EAGLE / (picture of eagle) / THIS BOTTLE / NOT TO BE SOLD / CAP. 7 FLU. OZ.
back: BOTTLING CO / (picture of eagle) / WASHINGTON, D.C.
The bottle on the right is embossed the same except that the eagle is above the lettering. Also, the eagle is looking down on the right bottle whereas it's looking up on the left bottle.
eagle_3 (enlarge) This bottle is similar to the bottole on the right above, except it is aqua and the embossing is arranged a little differently. It is embossed:
front: (picture of eagle) / EAGLE / WASHINGTON, D.C.
back: BOTTLING CO / THIS BOTTLE / NOT TO BE SOLD / CAP. 7 FLU. OZ.
