Here's a super nice southern soda in great condition. John Ryan chose blue as his main bottle color, and these green variants are very hard to find especially in nice condition. This one has nice crude character with lots of teeny bubbles and stretch marks in the neck. It has an applied blob top, and is smooth-based.
Embossed: JOHN RYAN / 1866 // EXCELSIOR SODA WORKS / SAVANNAH / GEO.
Height: 7 3/8"
Color: deep grass green
Condition: excellent - near perfect structurally with no chips or cracks. It has a few super minor items that are mentioned for total accuracy. There is a 1/8" ghost bruise on the inside of the lip (cork pry) that you need a very strong light to detect. Also, there is a long bubble on the inside that might have a 1/8" opening at one end (hard to see). Otherwise, it's clean and has just a few spots of wear - looks near mint until you microscope it.
