🍒 Vintage NOS Late 1930s–1940s Cherry Soda Cork Bottle Cap

This is an original NOS (New Old Stock) cork-lined bottle cap produced during the late 1930s–1940s era, a period when regional bottlers commonly issued generic flavor soda caps and ingredient disclosure practices were still evolving.

The cap is labeled simply “Cherry Soda”, reflecting bottler-controlled naming conventions used prior to widespread brand standardization. The ingredient panel lists artificial flavor and color along with 1/10 of 1% benzoate of soda, language consistent with transitional regulatory practices of the era.

🧢 An original cork liner is present, a construction method largely phased out by the mid-1950s, supporting an earlier production date.

✨ This example remains NOS (New Old Stock), unused and never applied, with clean surface and strong color.

📌 A character-rich survivor from the regional soda era, representing early bottling history and transitional labeling practices.
