This is the local Coca-Cola bottler putting its own name on a grape soda, back when hometown Coke plants filled their own flavor lines right alongside the Coca-Cola. Thomasville had a Coca-Cola bottler at least as far back as the 1920s, and the old bottling plant building still stands in town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🪑 Thomasville, the Chair City\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomasville is named for \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Warwick Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e, who built the community's first store there by 1852. The North Carolina Railroad reached town on November 9, 1855, and Thomasville was incorporated on January 8, 1857. Furniture made it famous: Thomasville Furniture Industries started in 1904 as a chair company, and the town has called itself the \u003cstrong\u003eChair City\u003c\/strong\u003e ever since. It even has the \u003cstrong\u003eBig Chair\u003c\/strong\u003e to prove it, a 30-foot concrete chair put up in 1951 to replace the wooden one built in 1922, still standing downtown in Davidson County.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Old Stock (NOS).\u003c\/strong\u003e Unused and never crimped onto a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal vintage soda bottle cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Big B Imitation Grape Soda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottler: The Coca‑Cola Bottling Co.
