Why Track This

Current State
Marked “Orange Crush,” with variant examples from Kenedy and New Braunfels, Texas, plus unattributed examples. Suggested price range: $10.00-$12.50.
Next Action
None.
Notes
Cross-reference: the 1930-05-08 blog post and timeline entry documenting Orange Crush Bottling Co. of Sinton receiving a carload of Three Rivers bottles — a different (unlisted) Orange Crush bottling location than the ones in this specific catalog entry.
