An online working catalog of 75 numbered Three Rivers bottles + addendum, by beverage type:

  • Sodas & soft drinks (majority): Coca-Cola variants, Dr Pepper, Nehi, Orange Crush, Pepsi-Cola, root beers, etc.
  • H&H Coffee “Crystalvac” jars (#34): one-pound jars in clear and amber (original screw lids read “We Roast It — Others Praise It”).
  • Dairy / milk bottles (#46): quart, pint, half-pint from regional creameries.
  • Unknowns / unmatched: bottles with suggestive Three Rivers marks but no firm attribution.

Identification notes: bottles marked with the Three Rivers “star” or 3R* on base/heel; variants include crackled/melted surface finishes, ribbed designs, and embossed imagery (e.g. #24 “Dragon” emboss); some carry patent dates (e.g. Delaware Punch “Patented March 4 1924”).

Reference cited: Michael David Smith, Texas Glass (p.39 Price List) — the same list the wiki’s 75 inventory/items/bottle-* records derive from. This catalog is therefore a companion/confirming online resource, overlapping the existing inventory rather than adding new items.
