'Hi-Brow'
wood box soda advertising crate,
featuring black ink sidewall stamped graphic iconography, all wood construction, nailed tin edge stacking strips and built-in, side carrying handles. The wood box crate was produced for the local New England soda distributor
Granite State Spring Water Company
of Atkinson Depot, NH
(east of Nashua, NH.)
The box is a rather scarce example of the once popular
High-Brow
soda brand, produced and bottled in
New England
in
Atkinson Depot, NH
and a wonderful vintage
New England
artifact and evidence of the once many soft drink bottlers and breweries once located all over
New England,
which are now mostly gone. The box has stamped black ink typography on all sides and features stylized, cursive trademark typography. The wood box crate is made of all wood, has nailed tin edge reinforcing stacking strips, all wood construction, nailed corners and a wood plank floor. Nice crisp, clear black ink sidewall stamped typography makes this an especially nice wood box advertising soda crate. Just maybe what your granddaddy drank on a hot, humid day. Terrific.
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
