Bottles from Knoxville, Tennessee

One of my largest collection of semi-locals is from Knoxville, Tennessee.

A late 1800's Hutchinson bottle from the Howell & Fox Bottling Company of Knoxville, Tenn.

Tenn-Cola Bottling Works, and Knoxville Bottling Company slug plate bottles

Eye-Se was an early Nu-Grape flavor line, this was replaced by the Nu-Icy flavor line.

An eight ounce Orange Crush bottle from Knoxville.

The ad announcing the introduction of Royal Crown Ginger Ale to Knoxville, Tennessee. You didn't know that Royal Crown was a flavor line before the introduction of Royal Crown Cola in 1936 did ya?

Another of the Nu-Grape flavor lines was the Five Points Beverages line these were prominent in the 1930's and early 1940's until it was replaced with the Sun Crest brand.
A real nice swimsuit 7-up bottle from the early 1950's

From the same company comes this brownie soda bottle which was a chocolate drink.
Kist was a long running line, and actually still existed a couple of years ago. It might have been discontinued since then.

A 10oz Mil-Kay from The Hartman Beverage Company of Knoxville.

An 8 3/4 oz Mil-Kay from The Hartman Beverage Company of Knoxville.

An 8 3/4oz Hartman Beverages bottle from The Hartman Beverage Company of Knoxville.   
I'll edit this post with new additions as I acquire them or take pictures of the ones that I haven't posted here.
