Scarce Southern Ginger Ale in Possibly Unique Color - Van Harten & Grogan, Savannah GA

You gotta love the color variation of these southern sodas! I've never seen this bottle before first hand, nor this color in a soda. The bottle was listed by Russ Butler in deep green (10-308) who valued it at $400-500 awhile back. But he didn't note this off color variation, which is hard to describe. It resembles the peacock green of the Hall's Hair Renewer bottles, but a tad more bluish emerald. The vertical embossing is crisp and the moldmaker had some difficulty fitting it all in because "Grogan" wraps right against the heel. A really cool bottle, possibly unique..
