Rare Vintage Double Cola Bottle Cap, Chattanooga, Tennessee 1980s
This is a very unique cap as it is the only one of this style I have seen available that was labeled on the side with Chattanooga and the Double Cola Company. There was a find of this style bottle cap at the abandoned Jefferson, NC plant but they were clearly marked from NC and Dr Pepper Bottling which puts that find from the 1990s and most of the caps out there of this style are from that find. This is one you will want to get in your collection while I have them available as it is unlikely we will see these again.
This company was started in 1933 and was called Double Cola because its 12 OZ bottles were twice the size of competitors. They were also the first company to use 16 OZ bottles. A very interesting history they had a chance to knock off one of their big competitors during WW2 as they had an opportunity to purchase the Pepsi Brand, because of sugar rationing putting a financial crush on Pepsi, but they decided not to. Just imagine how history would have changed if they had. We would all be drinking RC Cola and Double Cola as the two kings of soft drinks instead of Pepsi and Coke if history had gone a little different.
