**Bottles are only examples available for sale on ****Crate is optional and price is negotiable. Can be sold with or without bottle(s)**Description
Offered here is a group of 24 matching antique embossed soda/mineral water bottles from Groß-Gerau, Germany. Bottle(s) will be sold individually or as a a group, or can all be sold together with crate for agreed upon negotiated price.
Each bottle is embossed “Adam Kern – Gross-Gerau”, identifying the original local bottler from the town of Groß-Gerau, located near Frankfurt in the state of Hesse.
These heavy glass bottles feature the classic paneled soda bottle design used widely in Germany in the early 20th century for mineral water, lemonade, and soda water. The bottle bases are marked 0.25L, indicating a 250 milliliter capacity, a common European beverage size of the period.
The bottles were manufactured as reusable returnable bottles and would have originally been used with crown caps. Small local bottlers such as Adam Kern operated in many German towns prior to the expansion of national beverage brands.
Sets like this with matching embossing are increasingly difficult to find and make an excellent display for collectors of:
