Vintage 1960s 🍒 Cherry Smash Bottle Cap, Richmond, Arlington, VA Americana!

For sale is a rare vintage 1960s Cherry Smash Bottle Cap from Richmond and Arlington, Virginia. This unique piece of history comes from the iconic Cherry Smash company, which began its journey in 1901 in Richmond before relocating to Arlington in 1920. Taking advantage of the soda fountain craze, this American company became the second-largest soda brand in the country, right after Coca-Cola, earning the well-deserved nickname "Our Nations Beverage."

Cherry Smash's fascinating history includes sponsoring a minor league team based in Richmond during the early 1900s, further solidifying their presence and popularity in the region. Unfortunately, production of Cherry Smash ceased in the 1960s when the advent of the plastic-lined cap took over at the same time. What makes these events especially interesting is the fact that Cherry Smash really concentrated on making gallon-sized containers at this time and bottling soda bottles was a fraction of their business and they soon ceased operations. None of these caps are common for bottle caps but this is one of the uncommon cases where the plastic-lined ones are rarer than the cork-lined ones. Some neat history can be found here.
